[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's happenkng in US and will continue to as boomers approach ennd.[/quote] Most boomers are in senior living communitues or have kids nearby who check on them. [/quote] Really? I don’t think so… Boomers are between ages 59-77 right now and boomers make up 21% of the total population of the U.S. Only 2% of seniors live in senior living communities, with a not insignificant portion of those being seniors older than age 77 (not boomers). It’s hard to find data on how many people have kids living nearby who check on them but I will say I know very few people in my cohort w boomer parents who live near their parents. The children of boomers have spread out more than any previous generation did and live all over the country/world. Relatively fewer of us live near family anymore. [/quote]
