All it took was a tagline to pique Julie Dalton’s attention in RSS-Riverdale Senior Services.

As someone with a background working in aging services, Dalton was casually subscribed to the emails of RSS-Riverdale Senior Services and saw the Netherland Avenue facility’s tagline: “The Center for Ageless Living.”

There was something in that message that pushed Dalton toward the idea that she wanted to be part of that community.

“I thought that was so perfectly a match for me,” she said.

To the prize-winning author of “Naked at Our Age” and “Sex After Grief”, no question about senior sex is off-limits. She is known as as a fierce advocate for "ageless sexuality" and is about as open as it gets when it comes to talking about sex. Joan is zealous about spreading the word that adults can be passionate and desirable at any age. She is frank, funny, knowledgeable and articulate. This fit and sassy septuagenarian is a role-model extraordinaire.
