"It's great for my dad to go into restaurant and ask for the senior discount, but I just cringe. I just won't," said Gene Hinkle, 52, an account executive at Bailey Lauerman in Omaha who recently worked with Immanuel Health Systems to rename its seven retirement communities Immanuel Communities instead of Immanuel Senior Living.
