Sometimes happiness greets you at the door—with a wagging tail. 🐾

In this full-length Age Well Athens County conversation, we explore what pets can mean as we grow older: companionship when the house feels quiet, a reason to get moving, daily purpose, and plenty of unexpected laughter.

We also look at the practical questions every older pet owner should consider:
• What kind of pet fits your life today?
• Can you manage its daily care and expenses?
• Who can help if you become ill or need to be away?
• How can you plan for your pet’s future?

Whether you share your home with a dog, cat, feathered friend—or simply cherish memories of a beloved companion—there’s a place for your story here.

💬 Has a pet changed your life? Share their name and your favorite memory in the comments.

Medicare can feel overwhelming. Part A, Part B, Part D, Medicare Advantage, supplements, enrollment periods—where do you even begin?

In this episode of Age Well Athens County, we sit down with representatives from OSHIIP — the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program to help take some of the confusion out of Medicare.

We talk about what OSHIIP does, how its counselors help Ohioans understand their Medicare options, what to consider when turning 65, prescription drug coverage, annual enrollment, and the warning signs of Medicare scams and high-pressure sales tactics.

Most importantly, you'll learn that you don't have to figure Medicare out by yourself. OSHIIP can provide information and help you better understand your choices so you can make informed decisions about your coverage.
