“Old is good.  It’s not about age; it’s about attitude and aptitude for the tasks that lay ahead. “Old” is good when it brings along with it wisdom, integrity, good humor, confidence and a willingness to roll up one’s sleeves.”

Ms. Patterson is co-founder and President of the Gerontologist’s networking non-profit: The Let’s Group®: Consulting and Consortium of Professional Gerontologists, which is a provider of continuing education for the National Association for Professional Gerontologists. Di believes that every company in America needs a Gerontologist on-staff or on-retainer!

“I have blended my Aging education with many other pursuits: media, music publishing, R.C.F.E. administration, professional organizing, and support services in pharmacy and California probate, conservatorship and trust law. I developed Let’s Move Mom®: Custom Elder Moving Plans in 2002 as a result of my years of in-home eldercaregiving for both my wonderful grandmother and amazing mother-in-law.”

Ms. Patterson’s articles, books and speaking address positive aging as a goal for everyone. She presents successful strategies in assessing, adjusting and assisting in aging. Di reviews basics in lifespan development and aspects of the biology, psychology, ethics and sociology of Aging, and writes about her research-based Top Ten Tips for Success in Aging®.

“Aging well—success in aging—is that activity we do that is birthed in our attitudes and spreads to our physical, mental, spiritual and emotional lives. My goal as a Gerontologist is to bring you to a greater understanding of yourself while you are approaching your older years; and all of us are, one day at a time. We must arm ourselves with relevant research and good information: the best defense against wrong thinking, bad planning and procrastination.”  

Ms. Patterson is a member of GSA: Gerontological Society of America, American Society on Aging’s Journalists Exchange, NAPG: National Association for Professional Gerontologists, CCGG: the California Council on Gerontology and Geriatrics, SPO: Sigma Phi Omega: National Gerontology Academic Honor and Professional Society, Biola University’s Alumni Association, GAA: Gerontology Alumni Association of California State University, Fullerton, and the American Legion: Post 291.

Di and her husband, Paul, an Anaheim Hills, CA, Probate, Conservatorship and Trust attorney, happily blended their families of 6 now-adult children almost 20 years ago. They enjoy family and friends, golf, and travel.

“If good real estate is about location, location, location, then success in aging is about attitude, attitude, attitude!”
