Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non-profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing various free on-site programs in its senior communities, including (包括) novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age.

The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. "We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck (粘) on the wall. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything," said Carpenter.

Ninety-five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low-income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter's view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end.

McElroy concluded, "EngAGE is a place where members of old people are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here?' and I joked, ‘They're going to have to carry me out of here.'"
