They'll guide you thru information on life insurance and life advice: there's even a height and weight table (for the very brave and confident). A search page allows you to find a representative near you. And, for Canadians, there is a link to the MetLife Canadian page.

Fast loading, informative and well laid out. http://www.metlife.com/ NATIONAL COUNCIL ON THE AGING, INC.

New to their collection is a video on "Aging Parents". http://www.shs.net/ncoa/ncoa.htm RHODE ISLAND SENIOR TIMES ONLINE Don't be fooled...this publication isn't just for US Nor-easterners!
