Included in the DFA Blueprints for Senior Living e-newsletter.

As the Baby Boomers approach retirement, they will be less tolerant than any generation before them of accepting a lifestyle removed from the community–at–large. This phenomena will encourage CCRC's to explore how their residents can remain an integral part of the community—resulting in the realization that site selection may be one of the most important decisions a CCRC will ever make in exploring how they can provide environments that support aging–in–place.
