Gimpy people and parents of babies face the same issue - they need their hands free.

To that end, DadGear, a Denver-based company, specializes in clever bags and vests with water-proof pockets for bottles, diapers and snacks and cameras, cell phones and wallets.

Babies aside, we find DadGear ideal for other ingenious reasons:

Attachable Leashes: Each bag comes with fold-away double leashes to fasten the bag to strollers - or wheelchairs and walkers.

The Messenger Bag, which is our favorite, has a strap that loops over your neck and another that fastens around your waist to hold it securely.

Wet Wipes Access: Each bag has a clever front-facing pocket that opens to let you pull a wet wipe with one hand. Whether you’re freshening your face, wiping your hands after lunch, or doing some spot cleaning in a dirty car, everybody could do with an easy supply of wet wipes.

The bags comes in a variety of designs from elegant and sporty to get-down and audacious, including a skull and flames for you Gimpy Hells Angels.

As Baby Boomers retire and U.S. health care costs soar, Mexico is preparing for more American seniors to head south in coming years.

Many have found Mexico’s proximity to the USA, low labor costs and warm climate attractive, though residents caution quality of care varies greatly in an industry that is just getting off the ground.

“If you need help living or coping, this is the place to be,” says former Bandon, Ore., resident Jean Douglas, 74.

In Ajijic, Mexico, Douglas gets a studio apartment, three meals a day, laundry and cleaning service, and 24-hour care from an attentive staff, many of whom speak English, for $1,300 a month - a quarter of what she would pay in the United States.

And she wakes up every morning next to a glimmering mountain lake, and an annual average high temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit.

“It’s paradise,” she says.

A nascent movement is making neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old, both for men and women in need of help now and for Baby Boomers anticipating the future.

Urban planners say this movement, organized by residents rather than government agencies or social service providers, could make “aging in place” safe and affordable for a majority of elderly people.
