CORE Community Resources

Residents of Bayfield, Wisconsin, a picturesque village on the North Shore of Wisconsin overlooking the Chequamegon Bay and The Apostle Islands, have CORE Community Resources, which is empowering seniors in the Bayfield area to remain independent and involved in their community.

Core's vision is to:

To create a community that becomes a national example of how neighbors can help seniors
live and thrive and benefit their community.

CORE is an example of a new movement where people are joining together to shape their future and "age in community." 

Will Health Care Costs Bankrupt Aging Boomers?

Rising health care costs pose a significant threat to boomers’ retirement security. Although
Medicare covers nearly all adults age 65 and older, premiums, deductibles, copays, and holes in
the benefit package leave many older Americans with substantial out-of-pocket expenses. Unless
health care practices or public policy change, seniors’ out-of-pocket spending will likely grow in
coming years as health care costs continue to increase.

This report from the Urban Institute, Washington, examines the likely financial burden of health care costs for baby boomers as
they age.
