For people who have friends/ loved ones who speak Japanese:

Every year, people get older. This means that they are facing a new stage of life.

Unlike former days, “senior citizens” are no longer “seniors” nowadays. They are healthy and active, and enjoy traveling, working and studying. However, no one can avoid “aging.” So, why don’t you make a time to discuss with your friends/ loved ones regarding aging issues? What should one prepare? What should one do if a loved one begins to forget to speak English? What kind of senior services in Japanese are available in the U.S.?

This website is full of useful information about aging issues in Japanese. If you know someone who speaks Japanese, please introduce this website to him/her.

We also list up the useful websites in English. Please check these for your information.

Hope you and your friends/loved ones have a happy life!
