JAN 14, 2013
Prudential C. Dan Joyner Co., REALTORS recently became the first real estate company in the upstate to open a Senior Services Division. The initiative features professional advisors counseling seniors as they decide whether to relocate or remain in their current homes as they age, a national initiative dubbed “aging in place.”
John Moore, previously the broker-in-charge of the Pelham Road office, is heading this division, which opened on Jan. 1. “This specialized division will help seniors think through their options: to either renovate or relocate to accommodate their changing needs. Then we can help clients tap into a network of credentialed partners to make the changes,” said Moore.
“We are pleased to be able to help our customers feel empowered in making action plans so they are prepared for the future.”
Prudential has partnered with Interim Healthcare to expand the resources available to senior clients and families.

In addition to assisting with health care and personal care needs, Interim will offer a menu of services that facilitate moving, from assistance packing and sorting to fall prevention and home safety education.

These days, 60 is the new 40. A few worry lines and gray hairs aren’t stopping baby boomers from staying active and redefining retirement. But along with the benefits of active lifestyles, older Americans are feeling the pains of “boomeritis,” as the warranty on some body parts runs low.
One body part significantly affected as we age is the eye. For some, this means holding the newspaper at arm’s length, or giving up night driving. Yet, many overlook eye health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only half the estimated 61 million adults at high risk for serious vision loss visited an eye care professional in the last year. Fortunately, you can protect your eyes, and even reverse signs of eye aging with a few simple steps.
