“The Many Shades of Boomer Health,” by Joanne Kaldy, Provider

“Baby boomers have often been defined by the social changes they have launched, including political engagement and protests. The generation—usually defined as those born in the United States between 1946 and 1964—also is often associated with greater sexual expression, experimentation with drugs, and environmental concerns. Now, this generation that once chanted, ‘Don’t trust anyone over 30,’ is turning 60 … and 70, and as they age, they are bringing clinical care needs, strong opinions, financial issues,​ and family dynamics that will pose challenges for facilities. Understanding what it means to be an aging boomer is essential for long term and post-acute care (LT/PAC) providers to position themselves to care and advocate for this population.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, Administrative Coordinator, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

Sex and obesity top the new challenges boomers bring to LTC providers.
