In less than 2 decades, the graying of America will be inescapable.  Older adults are projected to outnumber kids for the first time in U.S. history. By 2060, nearly one in four Americans will be 65 years and older, the number of 85-plus will triple and the country will add a half million centenarians. With this swelling number of older adults, the country will see greater demands for healthcare, in-home caregiving and assisted living facilities
