The expertise of SeniorBridge's Eric C. Rackow, MD and Claudia Fine, LCSW, MPH in helping people age with quality of life  is featured in Forbes.com, the world's most widely visited business web site with 8.8 million unique visitors, as part of an article about longevity.  SeniorBridge's centenarian client, Elmer Easton, is also featured along with his regular routine of walking every day that weather permits, part of a care plan developed and implemented by his SeniorBridge care manager.

Drinking a lot of water, SeniorBridge elder-care specialist Claudia Fine says, is especially crucial as you age because you’re more likely to take dehydrating medications

“We live in a stressful world,” says Dr. Rackow. “You need to be able to take time for yourself and enjoy what you do.”
