| FACT |
| The aging of America is triggering a higher demand for health care and social services. Currently, about 80% of older adults have at least one chronic condition, and 50% have at least two. These conditions can cause years of disability, pain, and loss of function. Three million older adults indicate that they cannot perform basic activities of daily living such as bathing, shopping, dressing, and eating. Their quality of life suffers as a result, and demands on family and caregivers can be challenging. |
