Welcome to Generational Support!
A site dedicated to those caring for the Boomer generation and younger.
My professional background in the aging industry.
For the past 15 years I have worked in the 55+ (aka retirement) industry. Through this time I have taken on many roles that allowed me to observe and experience supporting older adults. Having been around the many phases of the lifecycle, both personally (as a mom and daughter) and professionally, I understand the stress one feels when given the responsibility of caring for someone else.
Why have I created this blog?
Because, I understand that there are so many things to consider when taking on the caregiver role, whether it is for a family member or an acquaintance.
Having been part of the marketing and sales team of a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) I know first hand all of the boxes that need to be checked. I understand the legal, financial, and medical necessities, to start. Plus, there are many other facets of aging and being a caregiver that I wish to share.
Another reason for this blog is my desire to squash stereotypes! There are many stigmas of aging, and I feel a great desire to help correct those negative thoughts. Not to mention, I do not tire from researching this topic and learning more.
Specifically, what am I going to share?
Just to name a few topics and sponsored affiliates…
- Housing options
- Medical needs
- Insurance needs
- Health and Wellness
- Legal needs
- Service providers
- Lifestyle (travel-Grand Canyon Tours, hobbies, new career paths, etc.)
- Adaptive Equipment and Accessories
- And of course the New Orleans girl needs to add a little Lagniappe…
So for now….
This list is just a few ideas, there is certainly so much to understand and think about.
I hope this first post peaks your interest and I look forward to guiding you all in your journey of generational support for the Boomers and beyond!
