Bold action needed to fix the future of senior living

Our Greatest Glory is not in never falling, but in RISING every TIME we fall – Confucius

With millions of seniors coming, the United States is going to have to find creative and bold ways to accommodate the needs of an aging society. 

I remember traveling in Italy in 2001 and thinking “wow, a lot of infrastructure has to change in order to accommodate one of the oldest societies in the world.” 

And nearly 10 years later, America is faced with a similar challenge.  We know people are living longer – this in and of itself is good, but it comes with consequences:  more years of medical service, more years of spending assets down after “retirement,” more people dealing with depression and so many other challenges.

BOLD thinking and leadership is required to make difficult decisions.
