Boomers get wake-up call at aging summit; Health care system deemed not ready to meet demands
Michael Vitez
The Philadelphia Inquirer via Bradenton Herald
March 15, 2007

Overview: Vitez reports on family caregiving and writes, “At a major national meeting on aging last week, one message to boomers was this: Get ready. You're going to do much of the family caregiving yourself - caring for your parents, helping navigate them through a sea of doctors, often doing it long distance.” He also shares predictions in technologies and shares, “Culture-changing technology is just a few years away - doctors, nurses and boomers will be a touch screen from frail elders, thanks to new interactive computers, monitors, cameras and sensors.”

Opinion: Caring for boomers requires increasing number of home care nurses
Val J. Halamandaris
Detroit News
March 16, 2007

Overview: Halamandaris shares thoughts on boomer retirement and how they will impact caregiving. Specifically Halamandaris writes, “This generation will not go silently into the good night. They will not meekly submit to retirement, but bend and shape the concept to suit their needs.” Moreover, “While they will be far healthier and live longer than their parents, Boomers -- the richest generation in history -- will have the resources to structure the support programs needed to deal with disabilities and remain independent in their own homes.”
