Hello, and welcome to Late Life Insights: A series of short, informational pieces on all things aging. I’m Dr. Lisa Rill, your friendly social gerontologist and Executive Director of Senior Life Source. My video presentation below discusses the implications of the aging population on long-term care.
A Certified Senior Advisors presentation by Dr. Lisa Rill:
America’s long-term care (LTC) system faces a crisis, today, in providing sufficient healthcare and meeting social needs of our aging society. A major concern is the impending disparity between the increasing demands of healthcare needs and the decreasing supply of the LTC workforce.
This presentation focuses on the multiple factors that have led to this crisis, along with examples of the consequences the shortage has on our LTC residents and staff, and concludes with a discussion of some solutions to the problem.
This talk was first presented as a part of the Certified Senior Advisors’ monthly educational webinar.
