Caring for the elderly: The issues

Article Abstract:

There is a growing trend in long-term care (LTC) for the elderly In the United States since the percentage of nursing-home residents with dementia and Alzheimer's disease has increased to 45.4, and the state and federal officials are trying to provide more eldercare services in homes and neighborhoods. This would make it significantly cheaper than nursing homes, but critics worry that states' home-and-community-based-services (HCBS) initiatives focus too much on cutting costs and do not offer counseling and consumer information to help family caregivers.
