May is Older Americans Month. To put that in perspective, when President John F. Kennedy established Older Americans Month in 1963, only 17 million Americans had reached their 65th birthday. Today, more than 49 million Americans are 65 or older. And by 2034, America will reach a new milestone: Older adults will total an estimated 77 million, outnumbering children under age 18 for the first time in the nation’s history.
