We are living longer, but are our caregiving, housing, healthcare, and financial systems prepared for those additional years?
This week on Senior Living News with Dale Corpus, we look beyond the individual headlines to explore one larger theme:
Healthy aging is not a product you buy. It is a system you build.
For the week of September 28, 2026, Dale examines new state initiatives supporting older adults and family caregivers, a $1.6 million project bringing digital mental health support to dementia caregivers, and artificial intelligence tools being developed inside senior living communities.
He also explores why many Americans fear outliving their retirement savings, how later-life care can reshape retirement expenses, and why housing and home equity need to be part of the planning conversation.
Finally, Dale looks at new research involving cannabis use among adults over 65 and explains why medication, safety, risks, and potential benefits should be discussed as part of a person’s complete care plan.
