In today’s segment, we are discussing – Living to 100 with Dr. Joseph Casciani, who has a 35-year history in aging as a psychologist and manager of mental health practices. He has developed mental health training for California’s nursing homes, been the clinical lead for a multi-state group practice for patients in nursing homes, and managed his own multi-state company.

In 2018, he extended his professional interest in aging to his new venture, the Living to 100 

Club.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Ways in which engagement occurs in senior living communities
• Activities in senior living communities that help lessen loneliness and isolation for seniors
• Factors that can help people live to 100
• The idea of “longevity bonus” and seeing senior years as a time of opportunity rather than decline
• Importance of maintaining a positive mindset and a sense of purpose as people age
• Statistics on the number of people reaching the age of 100 or older
• Role of senior living communities in promoting engagement, social activities, and mental/cognitive challenges that can help people achieve milestones like living to 100

Memorable Quotes:

“I’m not looking to add years to my life, but life to my years.”

“Successful aging means to me staying positive even when things get in the way.”
