Baby Boomer Parents
With a health care crisis of our own to worry about, many Baby Boomers are already dealing with the challenge of aging parents.
As BRIAN BERGSTEIN of the Associated Press writes: "Joan Coleman calls it her nightmare. When her 74-year-old mother fell ill, Coleman assisted her in the hospital and also had to get her stroke-afflicted 75-year-old stepfather and 95-year-old grandmother into a nursing home.
That put Coleman in the difficult position many baby boomers face suddenly thrust into helping parents pay for expensive nursing care that threatens to drain savings accumulated over a lifetime."

My mom is a baby boomer and she is 60 years old and puts money away every month to have a nurse come into her home when she can?t take care of herself anymore. At first I thought it was wasted money?but not so much anymore. I feel it is necessary to start putting money away for long term health care...sooner than later. What are Baby Boomers to do, due to the shortage in Nursing care?
