Senior Care Archives - Emed Multispecialty Group

Older adults and their families face many financial issues in acquiring treatments and resources to support a sustained healthy lifestyle. Financial resources can be quickly drained by having to pay out-of-pocket for medication, supplemental coverage, or for long-term care.

As of now, there are approximately 56 million Americans aged 65 years and above. However, by 2060, this number is predicted to rise to a staggering 94.7 million. On average, a senior citizen of 65 years can look forward to another 17 years of life. It’s no secret that good health is paramount to ensuring autonomy, safety, and efficiency as they age. However, countless older adults experience daily struggles with chronic illnesses, lack of physical activity, falls, oral health concerns, and behavioral issues, which can have a detrimental effect on their quality of life.

Despite improvements in health care that have increased the life expectancy of persons throughout the world, aging is still viewed by many Americans with fear and trepidation. Unfortunately, the lack of motivation to make personal health-conscious decisions in early and mid-life may result in inadequate planning for lifelong meaningful activity, social support and living arrangements for later life. Thus, many older adults are not prepared for the natural occurrences of physical decline, loss, and grief.
