Top 5 Reasons for Choosing Adult Day Services
|
The U.S.population over the age of 65 has grown 3 times faster than the population under 65, with a 30-year life-expectancy increase in the past 100 years. We are living longer, but not necessarily healthier. Risks of suffering from chronic, limiting conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, and dementia increase with age. As more people live into their 80s and 90s, more people require custodial care, supervision, and assistance performing activities of daily living.
Nearly half of our six million adults over age 85 need assistance performing everyday activities such as keeping the house, preparing meals, bathing, and getting around in and outside the home. In response to their gradual loss of independence, family members step up and become caregivers, assuming responsibility for guarding their health, safety, and dignity. Family caregivers (unpaid) provide 83% percent of the help provided to older adults. They also help mitigate other factors associated with increased dependency, such as loss of social outlets, loneliness, depression, and apathy. Many seniors have in their closest relative not only their sole caregiver but also their single source of social contact. CONTINUE READING
