Key Takeaways

  • We marginalize older adults because of erroneous information and stereotypes.
  • The key to healthy aging is how you handle life’s “curveballs.”
  • We are not born resilient, it is something we develop, and is dependent upon our life view. As Darwin proved, it is not the strongest and not the most intelligent who survive, it’s the most adaptable.
  • Masterpiece Living’s work in senior living facilities starts with a lifestyle profile—a tool developed by scholars in 1999 featuring research-generated questions that give a snapshot of your holistic health.
  • We reflect the values of those around us. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your potential and who are getting the most out of life.
