As 77 Million Baby Boomers Approach Retirement, the Hottest Homes Will Accommodate Special Needs

LYNNWOOD, WA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- As the population ages, homeowners and real estate professionals face a challenge: meeting the special needs of people who can't take care of themselves. Things like making bathrooms wheelchair-accessible, or creating space for hired care workers.

A new course, in live and correspondence form, will show how to meet senior needs and boost home values by including the right features and amenities. It's the brainchild of Christine Khemis, a nationally ranked long-term care specialist and Partner of LTC Financial Partners LLC, the nation's leading long-term care insurance brokerage. The live version of the course will debut in Bellevue, Washington, on December 9. The correspondence version will follow in 2006.

"As 77 million Baby Boomers move into their senior years," says Khemis, "real estate is becoming a whole new ballgame. Almost every family will need to care for someone at some point, but few homes lend themselves to in-home care." Houses and apartments that are made ready will be in high demand, she asserts.

The live version of the course, "The Long-Term Care Crisis in America: Understanding the Trends That Will Help You Prosper in Challenging Times," will be held for the first time from 9 AM to 1 PM on Friday, December 9, at MBA University, MBA Housing Center, 335 116th Avenue SE, Bellevue, WA. Tuition is $100 for members of the Master Builders Association, and $125 for non-members. Homeowners as well as industry pros are welcome. Continuing education credit is offered for real estate, insurance, financial, and legal professionals.

A free guidebook, co-authored by Khemis, is also available; it explains how to protect one's home equity and other assets through long-term care insurance.
