The Silver Pages – the place to turn for information you can trust

The Silver Pages – the place to turn for information you can trust. Written for people like us.

We know the facts. We hear the news everyday.

We’re all getting older. We are becoming the fastest growing segment in the population today. In fact, some estimates suggest that by the year 2025, 1 in 4 Canadians will be over 60.

Information on home health care and independent living in Canada.

That staggering number means two things. First, we need information we can trust to help us plan for our aging parents. We need information on home health care. We need to know how to help them live independently as long as possible. We need to help them plan for the future.

But here at the Silver Pages we are Baby Boomers – and as Boomers we recognize that we need information on home health care, health and wellness, and barrier free living for ourselves too.

We have to make plans to ensure we can live as independently and as comfortably as possible. And we have to plan for our own futures.

Whether you are making plans for yourself or caring for someone else, The Silver Pages is written for you.

In fact, the Silver Pages is written for ‘people like us.’ Sometimes when I am writing I get caught up in who I am talking to. I stumble over phrases such as ‘for your loved ones’ or I refer to ‘seniors’ when I know some of you won’t identify with the term. And then I had a eureka moment.

I saw a commercial for a cell phone and the approach was perfect! Two mature adults (we can all identify with that term to a certain degree!) are discussing the features of a new phone. Neither adult wants all the complex bells and whistles that young people want. One explained to the other, the new phone was for ‘people like us’. And I thought BINGO! That was exactly what I was struggling with.
