Assisted Living and Nursing Home Care

The current health care issues are large.  Uncovered people and high health care cost are a problem.  Well there is an even larger problem coming when baby boomers get a little older and need retirement homes,  assisted living facilities and then nursing homes.  It is going to be a even larger problem than the current health care problems.  Senior care and nursing homes are not something that can be put off.  When a 85 year old person that lives alone has a stroke and cannot talk, walk or raise their arm, they simply cannot live by themselves anymore. It is not an option.  Many times there is not going to a person to give care and the hospital will have to transfer the person to a nursing home.  That happens now but with the huge numbers of boomers now moving past age 60, there will be a huge increase in the need for facilities for personal care in the not too distance future.
