We are the baby boomer generation and we, 80 million of us, are the ones now aging. "When You Get Older, Where Will You Live" answers the questions posed by many boomers and provides guidance and resources that will help us find customized solutions for each of us. Questions include: Do we want to stay in our current home or move closer to our children or parents? Do we want to live somewhere new and exciting? What family responsibilities do we need to consider such as providing caregiving to our parents or caring for children living at home? Considering our personal finances, what are our options? If we change our residence, what medical care would be available? To make responsible and sound decisions, we need to be well-informed. "When You Get Older, Where Will You Live?" offers a practical and creative guide that focuses on important factors such as your values and priorities, housing choices, family matters, finances, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Whether you lead an active and independent lifestyle, are in need of a bit of help to remain independent, or require significant help and medical care, we boomers and our parents can use the numerous resources and useful information this book provides to determine our optimal residence, lifestyle and location.
