Elder Millennials, Smart Home Products for Aging in Place 12-30-25
In this 12-30-25 News for the Ages by Rethinking Aging Club episode, Ellen Khalifa presented an article from New York Magazine on elder millennials, highlighting the concept of “the cliff” at ages 44 and 60, and the importance of self-acceptance and adaptability.
Elizabeth Magallon Fleury presented the second part of her smart home products for aging in place, covering Wirecutter recommendations including the Amazon Echo Show 3, Apple iPad 11th generation, and smart locks for enhanced security and convenience. The discussion also covered the benefits of intergenerational activities and the importance of staying active to combat sedentarism.
