Senior Planning Guide 2025
When BusinessWest and the Healthcare News first started publishing an annual Senior Planning Guide, the idea wasn’t to create a roadmap to the end of life, though it could, in some sense, be described as such. Along with information about financial planning, care options, and family conversations, the idea was also to express that the retirement years should be a rich, rewarding, and robust time.
It’s a topic of interest for an increasing number of individuals and families. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans age 65 and older — which was 35 million in 2000, just 12% of the population — will reach 74 million by 2030, or 21% of U.S. residents. That’s a lot of people. And a lot of planning. And a lot of living left to enjoy.
In this year’s guide, we bring you perspectives on everything from Medicare plans, food insecurity, and important health issues, like stroke, to local options for in-home care, adult day programs, and more, as well as why it’s so imortant to stay active and have fun well into the retirement years. In short, stories about the questions families are grappling with every day.
After all, these years should be an enjoyable time, highlighted by special moments with family and friends, the freedom to engage in a range of activities, maybe even a chance to develop new interests and hobbies. Hopefully, the 2025 Senior Planning Guide will be a helpful resource in that process.
