Welcome to part 2 of our 2 part series on home care solutions for baby boomers!
Ocala Senior Care
Studies show that baby boomers will start reaching retirement age in 2011. And, according to Health, United States, 2005, a report issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, baby boomers will age more slowly due to healthful habits that have contributed to such indicators as 60 and 70 percent drops since 1950 in the death rates for heart disease and stroke, respectively. Further, the cancer death rate has declined 10 percent since 1990.
Baby boomers will particularly feel at home with in-home care like Comfort Keepers®’ Interactive CaregivingTM, which builds on seniors’ life-long activities and interests, helping them stay engaged in physical, mental and social pursuits that heighten their quality of life.
In-home care technology will further aid in making in-home care the ideal senior care solution for the baby boom generation. Throughout their lives, baby boomers have been faithful adopters of the latest gadgets that have come along to make life better. Furthermore, in-home care technologies, such as SafetyChoice® by Comfort Keepers, can help bridge the family caregiver gap for those boomers who don’t have children.
These technologies, which are continually being developed and improved, monitor seniors’ movements and vital signs and can alert help in emergencies when caregivers aren’t present in the home. Other examples include medication management systems, which remind seniors to take their medicine as prescribed, and GPS tracking devices that help locate a senior who has become lost.
So, just as they have throughout life, baby boomers will make their own distinctive mark on senior care – and in a big way.
