An Aging Population
Over the next twenty years, the number of Canadians reaching their retirement years will increase at a rate four to five times greater than the general population. For example, the number of people reaching their 85th birthday will grow by 27% in 2006, and another 23% by 2011. The Baby Boom generation is just beginning to enter its retirement years, generating huge demand for retirement homes that meet their particular needs

HOME
Are you living along?  Don't broadcast the information.  Make your home appear as if there a number of people and possibly pets around.  Put out toys, dog dishes or extra large boots on the porch.  Vary shopping and errand times so as not to be predictable.  Shop with friends and neighbours.
