How Are The Elderly Managing?

When speaking to other agencies I am hearing the same thing. We have all experienced a drop in business. I know the Assisted Living Facilities also have experienced a drop in occupancy as the elderly have not been able to sell their homes inorder to move in ,and their investment earnings have decreased. So that makes me wonder how our elderly population is managing. I would think that there would be more than ever a need for “home care” and since that is not ocurring I suspect people are struggling on their own or have adult children who are now assisting them.
If you have elderly family or friends, please check in with them to see how they are managing in this economy on their own.
We in the healthcare business are all being flexible with our rates as to afford people the assistance that they need.
