Effectively Providing Geriatric Healthcare
Posted in Senior Health on November 8th, 2008
Today, more and more Americans are over the age of sixty-five. About ten percent of baby boomers are now over sixty-five and this number is rapidly growing. Over the next twenty years, more than twenty percent of Americans will be over the age of sixty-five.
By using the medical techniques that have been developed over the last half century, geriatric medical care can be offered to those over sixty-five at a lower cost and more efficiently. Finding how to best utilize geriatric resources is imperative, because it is assumed that there will be too few trained specialists in the future.
