During the first three months of the COVID pandemic, telemedicine skyrocketed among older adults in the US. But concerns and barriers remain.

Trips to local coffee shops or fast food restaurants may provide older adults a boost to cognitive health, according to new research.

A new study undermines the classic "big promise" for older homeowners, that a house, after it is paid off, can sell for a retirement nest egg.

Rather than having "worse" memories as we age, it may just be that the way memory works changes over time, researchers report.

"Potentially inappropriate medications" can send older adults who've just left the hospital back to the ER. Changes to prescribing may fix the issue.

Even the highest paid middle-aged Americans have higher rates of diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and mental health conditions than do their English peers.

The older people are, the fewer memories they share, research finds. And when they do share, they do it in less detail than younger people do, too.

Brain scans reveal differences among healthy older adults' ability to recall memories. New research digs into what causes the variations.

Older men may be at higher risk of getting COVID-19 because they worry less than older women or young people about infection or death from the disease.

More collaboration with home health care providers could help family caregivers feel less overburdened, ease stress, and improve their quality of life.
