Here's what senior citizens want most when they get older. Health. Osteoporosis, arthritis, hearing impairment, and incontinence are all common conditions the elderly suffer from. Relationships. Community. Food. Routine. Respect. Physical Activity. Comfort.
Terms such as older persons, older people, older adults, older patients, older individuals, persons 65 years and older, or the older population are preferred.
Each California County has an Adult Protective Services (APS) agency to help elder adults (60 years and older) and dependent adults (18-59 who are disabled), when these adults are unable to meet their own needs, or are victims of abuse, neglect or exploitation.
Without this, elderly individuals may feel their lives lack meaning, further contributing to mental health issues and overall well-being decline. The absence of a caregiver can lead to significant loneliness, isolation, and declining mental and physical health in elderly individuals.

Divisions Of The Aged Between 60 – 75 years = young old. Between 75 – 85 years = old. Those 85+ are considered the frail older population.
