For Baby Boomers Becoming Parents to Their Parents, New Florida Community May be Just What the Doctor Ordered
Pembroke Pines, FL (Vocus) July 12, 2007 ?- For the millions of baby boomers (http://www.shshowcase.com/) taking care of their parents, the worry and fear are unimaginable.
Even as they juggle their own kids and families, their parents battle dementia and require more attention and medical care than ever before.
The guilt of spending too little time or not doing everything possible can be overwhelming and create tension between siblings and spouses.
Perhaps that is what has led to what could be the future trend in community development: New, state-of-the-art, maintenance-free homes built with upscale amenities and luscious landscaping and lakes, situated within a vacation hotspot of beaches, golf, fishing and boating, and located within just seconds of an elaborate medical support community.
?It provides peace of mind, and a vacation destination,? says Michael DeMoya of the DeMoya Group. ?More and more parents of baby boomers are relocating to an environment where there?s a comprehensive medical support system in a vacation wonderland.?
Developments like the SH Showcase Community (http://www.shshowcase.com/) in Fort Myers, Fla. offer a unique long-term solution for both parents and baby boomers alike. The community proved to be so popular, it sold out two years before it was even fully constructed. And the resale market continues strong to this day.
Benefits for Parents and Baby Boomers
For parents, it?s a complete medical support system that includes Memorial Health Park, a nationally recognized top 100 healthcare facility for its Cardiology and Intensive Care Unit, as well as an array of medical specialists in numerous fields.
If it becomes necessary for one parent to transition to an assisted living facility, there?s an upscale community across the lake. The spouse can easily visit because the facility is in walking distance. And if both parents should need to enter an assisted living facility the baby boomer children could keep the current home to visit their parents.
For baby boomers, SH Showcase Community allows them to visit mom and dad with their children and at the same time experience a little vacation time. DeMoya says that makes this a cost-effective investment for the long term for both parents and boomers.
?What can be better than to get away from the snow, get a round of golf in and pay a visit to mom and dad,? says DeMoya. He says some boomers have managed to turn the purchase into a tax advantage.
Not a Retirement Community
This is not a retirement community, which is why it appeals to many seniors. Baby boomers see it as a current or future vacation home. (http://www.shshowcase.com/)
The state-of-the-art homes boast some construction features and amenities, such as SOLID-SIX construction, poured in place solid concrete construction. The homes feature concrete walls, floors, and ceilings that are energy efficient as well as sound proof, fire and weather resistant. It also has an elevator, hurricane-proof windows and fiber optic cable for Internet, phone and security.
Here, even the hospital isn?t traditional: It was designed as a hotel.
This is the first community of its kind outside of a large metropolitan area. This unique type of community may be very difficult to duplicate due to the enormous planning of all the various medical organizations and the high cost of prime real estate located at a popular vacation destination, Michael DeMoya adds.
Most importantly, DeMoya says, is that the development helps bring peace of mind and calm to the millions of baby boomers becoming parents to their parents. And for the parents of boomers, because of the location, it may be the best way to get the children and grandchildren to visit more often.

Tips for Improving your Golf Drives on the Course.
One of the easiest ways to improve your golf is to learn how to hit the ball farther on especially when teeing off. Anyone who can not tee off and hit the ball a fair distance is at a disadvantage from the start because they are already metres behind their opponent. One of the key factors in hitting the ball farther is not to tense up when taking the shot. This sounds easy but quite a lot of people tend to forget this when striking the ball. They are that focussed on trying to get the power into their shot that they forget to relax.
