The New Old Age | Aging Matters | NPT Reports

Описание: There's never been a better time to grow old. Americans are living longer and healthier lives than did previous generations. But this long life will bring challenges. In Aging Matters: Overview, NPT explores the changing face of aging and what our community faces as the baby boomer generation grows the over 65 population to unprecedented numbers. What does it take to keep loved ones in their homes as long as possible? Do we have the housing and transportation to meet their needs? How will the medical system be tested by the increased longevity and the complex needs of seniors? Who will care for those with physical and cognitive limitations? No matter your age, these issues will have an impact on your life whether in the home, the workplace or the community.
