Shawn Rader: In an article by Tim Mullaney in the Senior Housing
News, he addresses the challenges faced by senior living
providers in dealing with the next generation of senior living
residents, the baby boomers and those coming after. He quotes Chris
Hollister, Chairman of Dallas-based Pegasus Senior Living, as
stating that the next big thing in baby boomers—50 years
after Woodstock—is the boomers figuring out how to "go
back to the commune."
Not only are boomers going to demand a self-designed retirement,
but other factors could well come into play and allow boomers to
put off their entry into senior living communities until much later
in life—if at all. Medicines, technology, artificial
intelligence, and self-driving cars all militate towards a more
independent lifestyle for boomers as they age.
