As the Baby Boom population ages, there is greater need to help the community prepare for long-term aging. The Baby Boom generation is the first generation to experience the impact of the all-volunteer military environment. This means there are fewer of this generation who served during a time of war (i.e. post-Vietnam). Many of these Veterans and older Veterans are eligible for VA care but may not have enrolled for VA because they weren’t injured while on active duty. There are benefits available for Veterans who have impaired function as they age. Many Veterans are not aware of these benefits. Additionally, there are many Veterans who are not preparing for long-term aging. Limited VA resources for surviving spouses is included.

Learning objectives
