The Number of Americans Over the Age of 85 is Expected to Triple By 2030

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c31469) has announced the addition of Long-Term Care Market Overview to their offering.

Demographic trends indicate that demand for long-term care will increase well into the middle of this century as the elderly population grows significantly. The number of long-term care facility residents is rising as a result of demographic trends. According to the Administration on Aging, it is estimated that by the year 2030, the number of Americans who will be 85 or older, the segment of the population that comprises the largest percentage of residents at long-term care facilities, will triple. The number of medications taken per day by long-term care facility residents is increasing. The emergence of alternative assisted living facilities is perhaps the single greatest pressure facing skilled nursing care providers today. As the baby boom generation ages, its members often choose to move into Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) or Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) and shun traditional skilled nursing homes. For those with the financial wherewithal, the home health care providers are yet another alternative to the traditional nursing facility. The skilled nursing facility is left to depend on Medicaid for reimbursement. In order to absorb the costs associated with caring for a Medicaid patient, the nursing home must be able to attract a sufficient number of private pay and Medicare patients to subsidize the unpaid expenses. While many national entities have endured financial hardship, some have survived through a recreation of their businesses into more modern-day alternatives such as CCRCs and ALFs. However, many health care companies with operations focused primarily or exclusively on skilled nursing facilities often lack the resources and infrastructure to undertake such restructurings.
