The Growing Population of Seniors: What You Need to Know

Care for the aging is an important social issue and a practical concern for many families. Globally, the number of people who are 60 and older will increase from 12% to 22%, doubling from 2015 to 2050. In this country, services provided by rehab facilities make up nearly one-third of all healthcare spending. Long-term assistance will eventually be required for between 52% and 70% of those turning 65. In 2011, the first wave of baby boomers reached age 65, marking the beginning of an increase in the elderly population that is expected to keep growing through 2030. In Missouri alone, experts estimate that the number of residents who are 65 and older will grow by up to 450,000 by 2035, making the total number of elderly Missourians about 1.3 million.

The Skilled Nursing Facility: Is It Right for Your Loved One?

In the U.S., 5.7 million citizens have Alzheimer’s disease; the number is expected to grow to 14 million over the next 30 years. 64% of nursing home residents have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or some other type of dementia. Skilled nursing facilities are a step above nursing homes, with more comprehensive offerings. They provide expert medical care for seniors with decreased cognitive or physical functioning, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy. They serve meals, provide housekeeping and laundry services, and offer entertaining activities. The American Health Care Association reports that 15,655 skilled nursing facilities are currently in operation in the U.S.

Is There a Skilled Nursing Facility Near Me?

If you are caring for a loved one who is suffering from Alzheimer’s or a similar form of dementia, you may have realized that he or she needs more help than you can reasonably provide, especially if you have a full-time job. You may be asking: How do I find a skilled nursing facility near me? You can go online and search for a long term care facility in St. Louis. When researching, consider the particular needs of your loved one and whether long-term care is appropriate at this stage in their lives.
