About Generational Support
Hi! My name is Courtney Nalty and I am the creator of Generational Support. My passion for people, especially those aged over 65 (Boomers), has created a desire to start a new kind of blog to assist aging adults, their friends, family, neighbors, Powers of Attorney, caregivers etc.
The planting of the seed.
In October of 2005, my journey began with taking a new position in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (or CCRC). While working in this industry I learned so much about the many facets of aging and aging well.
During my tenure, my father’s nine year cancer diagnosis became bleak, and I was able to assist him, my mother, and my siblings with a care plan.
I left the CCRC world in 2017, I decided to take on a flexible job working from home for a consulting firm that specializes in designing, developing, marketing, and concept ideation for the Active Adult real estate market.
My goals for you and Generational Support is to:
- Health – physical and financial
- Wellness – mind, body, and spirit
- Calling out ageism
- Retirement versus New Career
Guide current and future generations on the process of aging in the 21st Century.
- Housing options
- Financial knowledge
- Insurance options
- Government assistance
- Industry terms
- Technology
Support the older adult and their caregivers!
- Education, Education, Education!
- Sharing stories, experiences, and articles (the good, the bad, and the fascinating!)
We are all in this together!
Because I have personally and professionally seen the angst that comes with making pivotal decisions for another person’s life. It is my hope this blog eases fears you may have with supporting and caring for older adults.
There are many questions, thoughts, and unknown parts- retirement, finances, travel, grandparenting, housing, new careers, and more. I feel confident that we can make aging better for all.
So, put on your walking shoes and join me for an adventurous journey! Let’s take it all in stride…
