In 2011, the first of the boomers turned 65. As they age, the vast number of people entering their senior years will undoubtedly have an impact on how our communities understand and respond to the needs of older citizens. By the year 2020, Tennessee's population of people between the ages 65-74 is expected to grow by almost 48%. Aging Matters is a community-based conversation about what older citizens in Middle Tennessee need to optimize their quality of life and how the community needs to prepare for our aging population. The series focuses on issues such as caregiving, finances, end-of-life, dementia and Alzheimer’s through documentaries, town halls, panel discussions, short form updates, community conversations, and screenings. ► Learn more about NPT's original series Aging Matters: https://www.wnpt.org/agingmatters/ ► Enjoy Aging Matters on any device with the free PBS Video App: https://www.wnpt.org/videoapp ▬▬ About NPT ▬▬ Nashville Public Television, is Middle Tennessee’s & Southern Kentucky’s local PBS station.
