AGELESS AGING How Long Life, Health, and the Home Care Industry are Being Transformed in the New Normal In the past century, we’ve seen skyrocketing life expectancy that has transformed a long life from a dream into a reality. The converging forces of lengthening lifespans, declining fertility, and the aging of the massive Baby Boomer generation—who want something different for their own later years—are reshaping our approach to how we hope to age, where we choose to spend our later years of life, and what we can do to better match our healthspans to our longer lifespans. It’s time to better understand what this means for each of us, our families, and the home care industry: both the opportunities and challenges that long life can and will bring, especially in the new era of COVID-19. Drawing on insights from decades of Age Wave research, this thought-provoking presentation—delivered by Maddy Dychtwald, award-winning author and co-founder of Age Wave—unites timely, cutting-edge data with powerful storytelling to explore the near-future of aging, health and wellness, and the home care industry in the new normal. The industry is well positioned for explosive growth, but how can it innovate to be a positive, forward-thinking part of the solution to a more ageless aging?
