Come on people, what does it take for our “baby bommer” group to see that, “aging in place” is what we need to plan ahead for in our lives. I don't know about you, but I don't have $6,000 amonth to put myself in a “Senior Living” facility! How about you?

so true…in fact the mission/vision for 2010 , advocated by many including the Minnesota Board on Aging to make Minnesota a place where all individuals live well, age well and help others in their communities to do the same not only will have a human benefit but will also poise the state to attract Boomers looking for a place that better fulfills their “vision” on how they want to age well! I will have to familiarize my self with Rep. Thissen's platform and see how it might help engage some of our own local politicians running for office here this year…

Sincere regards,

Raad

Ann You are so right and it is true to say that our homes also have a direct effect on how well we heal or recover as well. In fact a long time expert in the field of medical facility design, Jain Malkin, once commented that there is no doubt that the quality of the environment can enhance or retard healing. When we are faced by changes in our mobility or independence which we have no choice but to face, having the familiar, comforting and soothing sanctuary and haven of our home to do so in only increases our chances to successfully transition, adapt and “heal”.

Thank you for your comments

Thank you Sailesh…I checked out your foundations website and was very impressed by the ambitious objectives you have undertaken to advocate for Seniors in India and elsewhere. It brought a joyous smile to my face when upon reviewing the composition of your board of directors I realized that none are in fact more than in their mid-40's….just goes to show you how multi-generational and cross cultural these issues we are all facing are and the diversity of the champions it has working on it!

Keep up the good work

Joe thank you so very much. I am flattered that you would take the time to comment here!

It is through exposure to the visionary work of pioneers such as your self in this industry that my believe in that we are entering an era of possibilities is strengthened!

Indeed Abbie and as especially as we go forward given the demanding nature of Boomers when compared to their parents who are known as the "Silent Generation" for their lack of being demanding

By the way I have to take a minute and plug Abbie's business " Great Grabz ". If you have not seen their line of beautiful safety grab bars yet you need to go check them out at http://www.greatgrabz.com/.
