By the way. You are not alone! We’re all aware and increasingly impressed by the ability of modern medicine to deal with a wide range of long term chronic conditions like cancer or heart disease. But you’ll see that means the number of Americans over 85 years of age is growing rapidly, and by 2030, those over 65 years old will make up 20% of the population.
As a result, the number of seniors like your loved one, with diseases related to old age such as dementia or Alzheimer’s, are expected to grow as is the number of family carers. An estimated 6.2 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today. This number could grow to 13.8 million by 2060 barring the development of medical breakthroughs
According to data from the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), almost 90% of elderly citizens would prefer to live and die in the comfort of their own homes. Whilst this is probably what your loved one feels, it also places increasing stress on the carer – as you’ll know. And this is where the new service launched by Visiting Angels Fredericksburg comes in.
