Choice Labs KetoPosted by cross fit48 on April 6th, 2019 Baby-Boomers and the next generation Choice Labs Keto coming up have had fewer kids, therefore narrowing the possibility that one of the offspring can stop their lives to care for their elderly parents.Within 10-years there could be a 13% increase in the number of caregivers - that's the good news - but there will be an 84% increase in the number of people above age 65. Worse, the estimated number of people with Alzheimer's is projected to increase 150% by 2030, provided no cure is found. The demographics do not lie here. Okay so, what happens with there is a shortage of anything? Supply and Demand 101 dictates that prices will go up. If the cost of nurses and facilities to house seniors go up - there will be a larger demand for paid in-home caregivers. Who will fill this vacuum as shortages increase? Well, perhaps anyone who wants a job and that brings me to my final point. How do you know you are getting a qualified caregiver or care professional? Best to hire an agency that does solid background checks, and knows what to look for, otherwise, this challenge of caring for a love one could get a lot bigger. Think on this. Like it? Share it!
