“Aging in Place & Community” through Planning and Good Design for the “Silver Tsunami”

10,000 people in the U.S. started turning 65 years old every day in January of 2011. That will continue for another 17 years. Housing isn’t prepared, hasn’t planned ahead, and our citizens are going to suffer the consequences and lack of independence that results, if we don’t make some serious paradigm shifts… NOW. Good design and housing solutions can lead the charge in giving those 89% polled by AARP what they truly want – the ability to remain in the home of their choice, in their own communities, with the freedoms and flexibility to get their care and live their lives on their own terms, for as long as it is safely possible to do so. Housing can be the solution, but it takes planning, and we have to start now. Aaron will provide you with an understanding of the key insights that are emerging from this ever-changing and exploding sector of the economy that is attempting to address the “Boomer Consumer” – Their wants, needs, desires, and fears related to the second half of life and the “new third of life” longevity that technology and medicine have created in our current lifetimes. You’ll come away for his presentation with real life examples , an awakening and new awareness of what we are facing, and new ideas and skills for solving some of the biggest challenges of our era.
