The case of Edna, who suffers a stroke while in the process of moving with her husband John to a small flat from their larger family home, is highlighted. The film describes advances in health care that enable longer lives, but also the complications of growing old, including medical or financial challenges, the need to relocate, the loss of a spouse, and the distress of grown children coming to terms with their parents’ frailties. The film is directed at health authorities and community leaders to encourage them to think about and implement solutions locally to care properly for the elderly.

It dramatizes the story of one reclusive woman, Mrs. Vickery, who attempts to be self-sufficient long after she is able. Released one year after President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Medicare and Medicaid programs, it features a nurse urging Mrs. Vickery to enroll in Medicare and offering help to do so.\u00a0 Says the narrator, \u201cMany of the old-age benefits that were social theories or political promises 30 years ago are realities today. A nationwide social security system has reduced the threat of hunger and want in the declining years. Special senior housing facilities are available in scores of our communities. And now Medicare provides some help in dealing with the illness and accidents that are part of growing old.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/collections.nlm.nih.gov\/catalog\/nlm:nlmuid-101691436-vid\">Steps of Age<\/a>\u00a0 (1950) describes the challenges of aging as seen through the eyes of Mrs. Potter, whose husband becomes listless and unhappy following his forced retirement at age 65. After Mr. Potter\u2019s death, she goes to live with her daughter’s family, which presents challenges of its own. She has disagreements with her daughter about child-rearing, and seeks a job but is turned away, apparently because the shop would prefer to hire someone younger. Mrs. Potter reflects on how to manage these jolts to her mindset, and how to continue to live a rewarding, engaged life.<\/p>\n<p>The NLM collection contains nearly 800 moving image titles dealing with aging, geriatrics, Alzheimer\u2019s and other age-related topics, which can be found through keyword searches of the Library’s <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.nlm.nih.gov\/discovery\/search?query=any,contains,aging,OR&query=any,contains,geriatrics,OR&query=any,contains,Alzheimer%27s,AND&pfilter=rtype,exact,videos,AND&tab=LibraryCatalog&search_scope=MyInstitution&vid=01NLM_INST:01NLM_INST&lang=en&mode=advanced&offset=0\">LocatorPlus Catalog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Rare Books and Journals<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/collections.nlm.nih.gov\/?f%5Bdrep2.isMemberOfCollection%5D%5B%5D=DREPINCUN\">Incunabula Collection<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Incunabula is a term coined in the 17th century to refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2018\/10\/11\/fifteenth-century-books-from-the-cradle-of-printing-in-the-west\/\">books printed \u201cin the cradle\u201d or infancy of the Western printing press<\/a>, generally from the early 1450s to 1500.

Fogarty<\/a> (1913-1967) was an American legislator who became known as “Mr. Public Health” for his outstanding advocacy of federal funding for medical research, health education, and health care services. As Democratic representative for Rhode Island, he served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1941 to 1967, and chaired the House Appropriations Subcommittee for the Departments of Labor and Health, Education, and Welfare from 1949. During his congressional tenure, Fogarty championed a vast expansion of the National Institutes of Health as well as aid to the elderly, medical schools, libraries, and programs for disabled children. He sponsored or contributed to virtually every piece of health-related legislation introduced during these years including the <a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.nlm.nih.gov\/101743404X384\">Older Americans Act of 1963<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Other Resources on the History of Aging<\/h1>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalheritage.org\/\">Medical Heritage Library<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalheritage.org\/\">Medical Heritage Library<\/a> was formed in the summer of 2009 when curators of historical collections at the medical libraries of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and the National Library of Medicine together with the Open Knowledge Commons collectively received a <a id=\"anch_14\" title=\"National Library of Medicine News\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/news\/digitize_grant.html\">start-up grant of $1.5 million<\/a> from the <a id=\"anch_15\" title=\"Alfed P.
