This program shows that some senior citizens can live independently—it profiles a man of 95 who lives actively with a minimal amount of community help and with no more serious medical problems than many people one-third his age.

It also provides criteria for evaluating nursing homes, and suggests alternative care for seniors. (19 minutes)
