The Growing Challenge of Aging Care

Aging care is becoming an increasingly pressing issue for the U.S. population, with projections indicating that by 2030, 20 percent of Americans will be over 65. The shift towards an aging society creates significant challenges, especially as many face the burdens of caregiving for elderly loved ones. The financial strain of care is overwhelming, with costs reaching an average of $262,800 for full-time care, a situation that many Americans are unprepared for. Addressing these challenges requires not only systemic changes but also a cultural shift in how society views and values the roles of caregivers.
