"The 40/70 Rule" Thursday, May 22, 6:00 p.m.

Independent research conducted by Home Instead Senior Care of 1,000 U.S. Baby Boomers provided new insights into the dynamics of the conversations which do—and do not—take place between Boomers and their aging parents. This first-of-its-kind study revealed obstacles to communication and solutions that would substantially improve communication and the quality of life for both generations. An analysis of survey results suggests that this communications hurdle can best be overcome if “the conversation” begins when the child reaches age 40 years or the parent reaches age 70 years, whichever comes first. Join us for this interactive seminar and learn about the new “40/70 Rule.”
