Our Future is Aging

Andrea Gallagher, President of Senior Concerns

Volume 59, No. 26 Week of January 23, 2017

Carol Freeman introduced our speaker today, Andrea Gallagher, President of Senior Concerns. Her presentation highlighted the issues of how the de-mographics will shift and how will we address these changes. Longevity: Though 99% of our human history, average life span was under the age of 18 years. In the year 1400, it was 35 years. In 2020 it is predicted to be 83 years old. Andrea provided numerous graphs showing the impact of longevity extensions. Demography: The number of people over age 65 is expected to grow by 81%. Different regions might show some difference but the overall increase is sig-nificant. Sociology: Independence vs Interdependence. Andrea gave illustrations of the importance of interaction and interpersonal connection. She spoke of the need for senior living facilities in our area and transportation considerations. She also pointed out other concerns, such as federal budget for medical care and senior entitlements, where to live, and who will be the caregivers. Mem-bers asked questions about the prospects for senior living here and also what was being offered by her organization, Senior Concerns.
