Reflection: Design can aid the incapacitated with style and warmth

We baby boomers have breathed the sweet air of invincibility so long that when something goes wrong with our finances or our family relations or our bodies we are shocked, shocked, to realize that rather than invincible, we are, as were all generations before us, quite vulnerable. So what should we, the children of the greatest generation, be doing?

We have been pretty diligent about exercise, and (perhaps too late now) have responded to the constant reminders about getting our financial ducks in a row. One consideration more liable to relegation to the attic of denial is incapacitation. What if? What then?
