By now, you've all heard the new buzzword being thrown about by gerontologists and those working in aging services—successful aging. But what does it mean; what does it really look like? By definition, successful aging refers to the physical, mental, and social well-being of older age. In fact, many of the issues we face as we age are due to an accumulation of one or all of these factors.
