Many older adults take a backseat to their own health care and well-being and this should not be the case. It’s your life and you should have a big say in this. Some adults are intimidated in a doctor’s office, some feel they do not have enough knowledge about the medical issues at hand and others just feel they should leave all care issues to the professionals. Instead, take an active role in your own health and well-being, after all, it is your life!
