Americans are aging and that is creating opportunity for savvy investors.
With about 46 million Americans over the age of 65 – a number expected to double over the next 25 years – families, health care providers and patients are having to adapt to managing chronic health conditions, accessibility and good quality of life.
In a study by America’s Research Group, 72 percent said they would do everything possible to avoid staying in a traditional nursing home. Caregiving is one of the biggest job growth sectors and 14 percent of adults in their 40s and 50s have cared for an aging parent or elderly family member, according to the Pew Research Center. Most others expect to care for an aging family member.
