When you turn 70, your body and mind go through a lot of changes. For example, you may lose muscle and have stiff joints, and your memory may get worse and your sleep patterns may change. Most of these are normal signs of getting older, not signs of being sick. Families can respond with care instead of fear if they understand what each change means for their loved ones. This way, they can get the right support in place before a crisis forces them to make a decision.
