Community Houscalls

Original Airdate: May 31, 2005
We continue our look at the future of aging in the Granite State. As the wave of baby-boomer retirees washes over our demographic landscape, we'll have to find more innovative ways to meet the growing cost of their health needs. One way is to keep people in their homes and out of expensive nursing facilities as long as possible. In fact, that's the goal of "Community House Calls", a Chester company that specializes in providing in-home support for seniors who need help. Chip Neal profiles one of many businesses starting to serve the needs of New Hampshire's growing elderly population. Also in this program, we'll take you to the 5th Annual New Hampshire Conference on Aging where Beth Carroll talks with Marie Smith, AARP's national president, about some of the issues the organization will focus on over the next few years.
