The first baby boomers are reaching retirement age. They are mapping out their own future, providing for children and grandchildren, and caring for aging parents. And they all have lots of questions - about financial planning, health care, charitable gifts, nursing homes, housing and a host of issues related to aging. You need to respond to those questions, and also to meet the needs of your current elderly clients by keeping abreast of this rapidly evolving area of practice.
