Older Americans 2010: Key Indicators of Well-Being "provides a comprehensive picture of our older population's health and well-being," according to the foreword, which describes it as "an accessible, easy-to-understand portrait of how older Americans are faring."The report confirms that the senior demographic is growing rapidly. At the same time, it indicates that health care costs are rising just as rapidly.
As the population ages and the demand for health care services is greater, so will the demand for social services such as Meals On Wheels. Only by understanding the challeges we face will we be able to adequately address the issues that will reform our society in the years ahead.
A downloadable PDF copy of the report is available here. A helpful summary is available at SeniorJournal.com.
