couple looking for senior living professionals to help with retirement planningWe are all living longer. More and more Baby Boomers are retiring every year. Yet, retirement has changed over the years as have your expectations. Many Boomers expect to continue their quality of life and lifestyle into retirement. 

Demographically, we split into two distinct groups. There are those of us who have already retired and now face a myriad of decisions about healthcare, living on a fixed income, Social Security, Medicare, wills and trusts, healthcare, etc. Then there are those of us faced with caring for or at least advising an older relative or loved one as their life circumstances related to aging change. 

The founders and directors of SeniorSmart understand both sides because they are older and caring for loved ones who have healthcare issues. What they have found, is that there are plenty of resources available but finding them can be a hassle.
