Long Term Care

The world's population is living longer.  In the United States, the population segment of the "very old", those older than age 85, is the fastest-growing age group. The older the person, the more likely a need for long-term care and the more likely a need for care which lasts not just months, but years.  Over 50% of the age group over 85 is receiving long-term care

The ranks of the elderly are growing larger. The population of elderly over 65 will double from about 37 million people today to about 77 million people in 2035. Based on current estimates of the rate of long term care, this means that in 29 years about 17 million elderly Americans will be receiving long term care.

It is estimated that 6 out of 10 people will need long term care sometime during their lifetime.  In fact,  the majority of physicians in training today will spend 50% of their future practice time treating patients over the age of 65.

Associated with most long term care facilities is patient immobility, which often leads to pressure ulcers.  A significant amount of time and resources are expended caring for these pressure ulcers.
