According to a special edition report from January 3, 2006 the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that as of July 1, 2005 there were an estimated 78.2 million baby boomers. As the oldest Baby Boomers start to turn 60 there has been more and more focus on how to best serve and help this generation move to the next stages of their lives.
The generation born between 1946 and 1964 wants more than ever to spend as long as possible living their lives as they best see fit, including staying in their homes longer; which means that they start to need a whole new set of resources available to aid them. The Nation Aging in Place Council (NAIPC) has announced that that week of October 1-7th, 2007 will be ‘Aging in Place’ week.
Amar along with a group of local professionals from the retirement planning, legal, in-home healthcare, financial services, and home-remodeling industries have banded together to host seminars and resource fairs to encourage senior citizens, recent retirees and baby boomers to be proactive in thinking about their future housing and health care needs.
Our hope is to provide ideas and information on products, services, and lifestyle tips that will help baby boomers achieve comfortable and independent living as they age. “Trying to figure out everything you need to do to age in place comfortably can be a very confusing and scary process for some people, we want to answer people’s questions and help simplify the process as much as possible” says Craig Guido of Almar Building & Remodeling about the upcoming workshops.
