This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.

This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirroring a worldwide phenomenon in industrialized nations, the U.S. is experiencing a change in its demographic structure known as population aging. Concern about the aging population tends to focus on the adequacy of Medicare and Social Security, retirement of older Americans, and the need to identify policies, programs, and strategies that address the health and safety needs of older workers. Older workers differ from their younger counterparts in a variety of physical, psychological, and social factors. Evaluating the extent, causes, and effects of these factors and improving the research and data systems necessary to address the health and safety needs of older workers may significantly impact both their ability to remain in the workforce and their well being in retirement. Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers provides an image of what is currently known about the health and safety needs of older workers and the research needed to encourage social polices that guarantee older workers a meaningful share of the nation's work opportunities.

Download or read book Women on the Front Lines written by Jessie Allen and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1900, one in 25 Americans was elderly. In 1990, it was one in eight, and by 2030, more than one in five Americans will be aged 65 or over. Women are 60 percent of the elderly population, and they are a much larger majority of the elderly poor, the elderly in nursing homes, and the elderly who live alone. Because they usually live longer, women outnumber men by nearly three to one past the age of 85. In fact, the recent phenomenal growth of the oldest age group is primarily due to the unprecedented numbers of women who are surviving into very old age. But it is not only elderly women whose lives are affected by the aging of the U.S. population. Women of all ages are "on the front lines" of the aging trend because they provide most of the care to growing numbers of disabled elderly Americans. The book's expert authors explore a network of issues confronting women in our aging society, including middle-aged women's struggles to combine eldercare with paid work outside the home, women's prospects in an aging labor force, the causes of widespread poverty among elderly women of color and women who live alone, inequities in our pension system, and continued marginalization of aging women. The chapters lay out a number of steps needed to ensure that increases in longevity will mean more years of healthy, productive life and not merely a longer period of chronic ill health and economic dependency. Within the next two decades, the United States will have a much larger, more diverse older population. It will happen whether we plan for it or not. This book examines the issues that individual women, policy makers, and all of us as a society must face in order to respond to the changing needs of an aging America.
