A New Era Was Ushered in at the Beginning of This Year: the Baby Boomers Hit Retirement Age

Chicago, IL, June 14, 2011 --(PR.com)-- A new era was ushered in at the beginning of this year: The Baby Boomers hit retirement age. By some estimates, around 6,000 seniors will be celebrating their 65th birthday every day. As those numbers increase, issues regarding healthcare and retirement options will become topic number one for many Americans. Livingsenior.com is an online resource center that provides a wide range of valuable information for seniors and their families as they make the transition into the golden years of retirement.

Tracking the trends that matter the most to retirees is the primary focus of Livingsenior.com. Much of the discussion in Congress these days concerns rising healthcare costs. All these talks on the subject of how to fix Medicare and Medicaid will become even more important as this new wave of seniors enter into the system. What also needs to be discussed is where all these new retirees will be living. Livingsenior.com provides development updates and links to all the new and existing retirement communities across the country.

Wellness is a huge issue for seniors. Livingsenior.com will be tracking the latest developments in this area. Additionally, the website will be showcasing those facilities which are offering the most successful wellness programs.

Where you’ll spend your retirement depends on two major factors: Budget and health. Sometimes even the best retirement plans can be put into a tailspin if a health crisis crops ups. However, there are many viable choices for retirees who want to continue an independent lifestyle albeit one with a little assistance. These options range between in-home care to transitioning into assisted living facilities. Which is the best choice for your loved ones? What should you look for as you tour these facilities? What should you be asking the staff? You can find the answers to these questions on Livingsenior.com.

When medical complications require long term care you’ll need to know what your choices are. Nursing homes can provide a level of ongoing care to seniors who are facing more challenges with their physical and mental well-being. In those cases where end of life care takes precedence hospice care becomes a great source of comfort. Livingsenior.com offers pertinent information about how types of facilities work and are managed.

Even if you are years away from “official” retirement, you can still start planning for that future today. In fact, you’ll be in a stronger position to have more choices available if you can develop a comprehensive plan starting today.
