Text

Aging well refers to the process of maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health and vitality as individuals grow older. It encompasses adopting healthy lifestyle practices, staying socially engaged, and fostering a positive mindset to enhance overall well-being in the later stages of life. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced and active lifestyle to promote longevity, independence, and a high quality of life throughout the aging process.

NDSU Extension hosted a Medicare Open Enrollment online seminar to help Medicare beneficiaries, family members, and caregivers understand Medicare Part D, the differences between original and advantage plus plans, changes for 2025, and key factors to consider during open enrollment.
