As people grow older, their perceptions, belief
systems, and interests often evolve. These
changes can make rereading a favorite old book an
entirely new experience. Tucson in-home senior
care experts discuss 4 classic works aging adults
may want to revisit in the golden years.

1. Animal Farm
For many young readers, George Orwells Animal
Farm might seem like little more than a bunch of
talking animals living in a society with strict
rules. For adults, this satirical work makes more
sense and becomes more thought provoking and
engaging. Elderly readers can use their
considerable life experience to make comparisons
between this book and the changes theyve seen
over the decades in the real world.

2. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
The first book in C.S. Lewis famous series is a
fantastic tale that never loses its intrigue.
From fauns and talking lions to trees that hold
loyalties and secrets, this work is perfect for
readers of every age. Seniors will find this book
and the others in this series to be the perfect
form of escapism, no matter how many times
theyve read them, and they will also appreciate
the complexity of this books portrayal of good
versus evil.

3. A Wrinkle in Time
This first major work by Madeline LEngle is
rumored to contain scientific facts and theories
that are so spot-on, NASA once used it as part of
its training program for new astronauts. Despite
the complexities of the included physics, this
book is equally suited to 10-year-old children
and adults over 65. Aging adults can curl up and
read about the exploits of young Charles Wallace,
his sister Meg, and the interdimensional journey
to find their father that takes them through both
space and time. Some of the concepts of this book
may have been difficult to understand from a
childs point of view, but seniors will have the
life experience to appreciate its themes.

4. The Great Gatsby
Every senior should reread F. Scott Fitzgeralds
classic novel. Not only is it exciting, engaging,
and full of surprises, but its also rich with
complex characters. Aging adults will truly
appreciate the protagonists kind heart, gentle
spirit, and unending dedication to friendship,
and they will also have a better understanding of
the opportunistic and self-centered nature of the
characters surrounding Jay Gatsby. Books are
just one way seniors can get the regular mental
stimulation they need to keep their brains
healthy. If your elderly loved one needs
additional brain-boosting activities in his or
her life, reach out to Home Care Assistance. We
