Funmilola Taiwo Nursing Home Care Versus Home Care
Funmilola Taiwo hospital Top service provider. As Americans live longer, many of the traditional nursing homes of years past are transitioning to a person-centered model of care. As the Baby Boomer generation ages, they have clear ideas about the way they want to receive care. According to data from the Pew Research Center, 18 percent of Americans will be older than age 65 by 2020, compared to just 13 percent of Americans by 2010. In response to these preferences as well as to the rising cost of medical care, seniors are increasingly able to "age in place," receiving nursing home level care in the privacy and comfort of their own home rather than in a facility setting. Read on to learn more about how nursing homes are changing, and how these changes will affect your loved ones who need care.
