With the life time probability of becoming disabled in at least two activities of daily living or of being cognitively impaired being nearly 70 percent for people age 65 and older, it’s understandable that more housing options are available now. That’s a good thing because those options range from in-home care to residential care (such as adult family homes, assisted living, assisted living with memory care and skilled nursing facilities).
Of the older population with long-term care needs in the community, about 30 percent (1.5 million persons in America) have substantial long-term care needs (three or more activities in daily living limitations). Of these, about 25 percent are 85 and older and 70 percent report they are in fair to poor health. That’s okay, because we know the Vancouver WA, Clark County WA resources. Being experts in the field, we are familiar with how to match needs to long term care needs and how to locate options for you.
