Smart Seniors

As a public service, the Good Brand Company produces a Smart Seniors series of video interviews with residents of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), also known as life plan communities. These videos provide information about this types of retirement community and how to select one for yourself or a loved one.

Salemtowne Life

I am building a new blog 'Salemtowne Life' to provide information and tips to those interested in moving to a CCRC and to Salemtowne Towne Club members, new residents, and current residents, and to document what it's like living in a CCRC.

Set your tempo

Workout to music? Here's a way to get in sync. Count how many times one foot hits the ground in a minute and double it to get your stride rate. Then find a song with a similar number of beats per minute, (bpm). You can search for tracks organized by bpm on the website https://jog.fm; use the Spotify app that matches your songs to your tempo, or use the Weav Run app that reengineers your favorite songs to match your tempo.
