SYNERGY Home Care Offers Help to Assist the Elderly with Caregiver Shortage
San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) October 18, 2013 -- More and more baby boomers are retiring every day. As they age, many need at home care and help around the house. There is a shortage in medical staffing and in-home caregivers. According to a recent Public Policy Institute study, in 2010, the caregiver support ratio was more than seven potential caregivers for every person in the high-risk years of 80-plus. In 2030, that ratio is expected to fall to four-to-one, and to less than three-to-one in 2050. Rising demand and shrinking families to provide care call for new solutions to the financing and delivery of care and family support.
