For 30+ years I worked as a psychologist specializing in geriatric mental health and healthy aging strategies. Most of my career has been in nursing homes, working with older adults, their families, and the staff who support them.
By 2019, I was ready for more. I sold my last company and expanded my focus beyond long-term care to individuals living at home—people like you who want to know more about the how of successful aging.
Over the years, I’ve seen the importance of resilience, adapting to setbacks, and overcoming self-limiting beliefs. These are essential to living not just longer, but better.
The reality is simple: we are all living longer. But added years raise important questions:
That’s why I created the Living to 100 Club—a hub and a community for people passionate about healthy aging, positive outlooks, and successful living. It’s a resource for individuals 55+, senior living communities, and anyone interested in activities for older adults, guidance on resilience, and inspiration for the aging journey.
Many of us will live into our 80s, 90s, and beyond. To make those years count, we must rethink traditional views of aging and build habits that support vitality and joy.
This is the focus of the Living to 100 Club—helping older adults, caregivers, and senior living professionals embrace a future shaped by mindset, purpose, and connection.
Take a few minutes to browse the website, listen to our podcasts, or reach out directly. My e-door is always open—whether for a private session or simply an email hello.
I’d love to hear from you.
“I wish my 82-years old mom would speak English! I would connect her with Dr. Casciani immediately, and have no doubt that she would be in great hands. Dr. Casciani is not only extremely knowledgeable on the topic of aging and the psychology of getting older, but he is also one of the most passionate and compassionate people I have ever met. His positive outlook on life is contagious and his gentle manners are reassuring and make him approachable to anyone going through a rough patch.”

“The Living to 100 Club created by Dr. Joe Casciani is an amazing resource for us all. I have known Dr. Casciani for over 25 years and worked with him in several professional organizations. Dr. Casciani has always been a role model and a “go to” colleague for me and for many others. He is able to combine his extensive knowledge and dedication to older adults with the practicalities of how to effectively deliver mental health services to older adults. The Living to 100 Club is an expansion of his influence on the field and older persons. I am proud to be a member and an admirer of Dr. Casciani.”

Dr. Joseph Casciani has a 30-year history in long term care as a psychologist and manager of mental health practices. He was awarded the first contracts from the California Department of Aging in 1982 to develop mental health training for the state’s nursing homes. For 16 years, he was the clinical lead for a large mental health practice where he oversaw mental health programs to patients in hundreds of nursing homes, in eight states.
He is past President of Psychologists in Long Term Care, and former Board Member of a national consortium of geropsychology training programs. In addition, he is the author of the Handbook of Health and Behavior, along with an online program on reducing anti-psychotic medication in nursing homes, and other publications.
Formerly, he managed psychology group practices for nursing homes, and is now a consultant, public speaker, and trainer. Concept Healthcare (also known as CoHealth) were his multi-state practices, named to emphasize the importance of behavioral health concepts in the care of older adults.
In 2018, he extended his professional interest in aging into a new venture, the Living to 100 Club. The website, www.Livingto100.Club offers a collection of articles and resources on successful aging. He also hosts a weekly podcast, where guests from a range of professions in health care, law, gerontology, and related fields share their expertise, recommendations, and positive views about aging every week. Enjoy Dr. Casciani’s book, Living Longer IS the New Normal, filled with strategies and recommendations about putting a positive perspective to good use and overcoming self-limiting beliefs. The goal of the Living to 100 Club is to help members live longer, healthier, and happier lives, and if this is not in the cards, to stay positive while trying.
