Physical and mental health complications due to various elderly health issues, chronic illnesses, and even cognitive decline. Financial challenges due to limited income and difficulty accessing necessary benefits. Social isolation and loneliness due to not adapting to technology or the social norms of a different world.

While most have good health, many are at risk of developing mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders. Many may also experience reduced mobility, chronic pain, frailty, dementia or other health problems, for which they require some form of long-term care.

Illnesses like diabetes, congestive heart failure, and some forms of dementia can be delayed or even prevented. Even loss of muscle strength with aging is at least partly preventable. And maintaining a positive outlook can help you stay mentally strong as you face illness and personal losses.
