At 103, I Never Went to a Nursing Home… This Is Why"




I'm 103 and still in my own house. Never spent a day in a nursing home. Here are the 7 choices I made starting at 60 that kept me independent. You can do this too.

THE 7 THINGS THAT KEPT ME OUT OF A NURSING HOME:

1. Never stopped moving - Still walk daily at 103
2. Kept my mind sharp - Learned computers at 64, still do puzzles daily
3. Accepted the right help - Weekly cleaning help, but stayed independent
4. Never got lonely - Built community, stayed connected
5. Fixed small problems early - Hearing aids, grab bars, cataracts
6. Ate to live - Greens, beans, fish. No diabetes, no heart disease at 103
7. Never gave up hope - Refused to believe I was done

I watched my friend Margaret go to a nursing home at 62. She died 8 months later. I promised myself I'd never end up there.

I'm 103. Still cooking. Still gardening. Still living on my terms. Same house since 1973.

It wasn't luck. It wasn't genes. My parents died young. This was a choice. Daily choices for 40 years.

If I can stay independent at 103, you can too.
