Quote by Terry Pratchett
The baby boomers are getting older, and will stay older for longer

The baby boomers are getting older, and will stay older for longer. And they will run right into the dementia firing range. How will a society cope? Especially a society that cant so readily rely on those stable family relationships that traditionally provided the backbone of care? – Terry Pratchett
