As the Baby Boom generation grows older, people are exploring how to remain active, independent, informed and productive. Americans are paying more attention to issues of aging – from staying healthy longer to advocating for new treatment options and ending life with dignity. How to ensure a healthy quality of life for seniors is a primary question for communities throughout California and the nation.
