Either way, we know you. You, my dear friend are a Baby Boomer!

It is very interesting how a few simple words can evoke a big response in us. I simply mention a few television words and there you are, right back in your childhood. How about a few words that many Boomers are hearing and saying quite a bit these days? Words like Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Independent Living or Skilled Nursing Facility? These are words that are becoming more and more a part of our everyday language as we are providing care or searching for care of our aging parents, family and friends.
