What Boomers Want
Good post!
I found it strange that they seem not to distinguish between Boomers and the parents of Boomers. At this point, most Boomers are not themselves the elderly; many of them, especially the younger Boomers, are caring for elderly parents.
Boomers are the generation that invented and adopted the PC and the Web. It's not as if they cringe at technology, and they continue to drive trends in technology adoption. Insisting on ease of use is not a sign of dementia; it has been an issue since the PC was invented.

Aging in place maybe not best
Your comments and links to further analysis on the contradiction between the 'aging in place' goal, and the toll it takes on older people and their families--if any--merits far more honest discussion. Most of us know the personal, emotional costs we pay, wondering when the next crisis will happen and if what you are doing for your parent is best. Can we get beyond this and think up some alternate models to 'facilities' and 'nursing homes'? We need to break the mold on this one.
