There are as many millennials as boomers, whereas gen X is about 10 million less than either group.

I’d like to know what they are going to do with all the old-folks homes that are going up.

There's a precedent for this: schools. A lot of towns had to build out to accommodate the boom, then deal with declining enrollment for GenX, then another increase for the "echo" generation that we now call millennials. If you want to know what retirement homes will go through, look at what schools already did.
