Today, more Americans can
hope to see their parents
live to old age — and more of them have care
giving
responsibilities for aging parents, spouses, and other
family members:
- Adults 50+ represent 79 million people
- Nearly 1 in 4 households is involved in providing care
for adults 50+
- Over 80% of the care provided to older adults
is provided by family care givers
- Adults 50+ spend over $525 billion on health care,
a number expected to reach over $1 trillion by 2007
- There is a dramatic shortage of healthcare professionals
adequately trained to care for the elderly
The Merck Manual of Health & Aging targets the
growing need for a useful
source of information about the journey ahead. |
