Adventure in Retirement

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” - Jawaharlal Nehru

Assisted Living Store, Inc. (Assisted Living Store), South Saint Paul, Minnesota announces its purchase and development of RetirementFriendFinder.com. A new social online network created by its President and Gerontologist Kimberly A. Carlson.

Assisted Living Store is an online company that sells senior friendly “gadgets” and other products that help keep people independent and at home longer. The company has been in business since 1999. Assisted Living Store recently created an on-line social network for people enjoying retirement. Our review of the Internet showed that there are ample dating sites for people of all ages. We discovered that there are very few networking sites for those interested in locating acquaintances with similar interests.

Kimberly wrote,

"We have retired family and friends that travel (as snowbirds) to retirement destinations each year. Their biggest complaint is that they do not know other people in these communities when they arrive. We have created a new website that is meant to assist people in meeting others in their retirement destinations.

If you want to find others to golf with, walk dogs, go to exercise classes, go on wine tasting tours, or any activity in retirement our new website is a place for you.

Interested members can use the website to plan trips or other activities with new friends having similar interests. Socializing and adding some adventure in retirement is healthy and it makes for a more enjoyable life experience.”  The membership is free of charge.

David L. Janovy, who was appointed by the former Governor of Minnesota to serve on the Minnesota Board on Aging, said in part:

"I have known Kimberly Carlson for a number of years, first as a graduate student (she was my advisee and graduate assistant) and now as an outstanding professional gerontologist and colleague. She is a person of the highest professionalism, personal standards and integrity. I am delighted to see that she has developed a web site where she can use her exceptional expertise in aging to serve the needs of a broad range of older adults and their adult children. She is knowledgeable, competent, and, she cares. What more could one ask?"
