Running head: GROWING DEMAND FOR AGING CARE 0 Growing Demand for Elderly Care and Its effects on Society Flora Boateng-Sampong Gero 302 6380 Prof. Diana Torrez Growing Demand for Elderly Care and Its effects on Society Introduction: Biological perspective describes aging as the accumulation of a wide variety of molecular and cellular damage over time. The United States and other countries experiencing population influx on baby boomers need to prepare well in order to address consequences of demographic trends through health promotion and disease prevention at the community level as well as disease management strategies within their healthcare system. These strategies are important because it improves the quality of life for the aging population and lower rate of cellular damages. The achievement outcomes of these strategies will come at cost inflicting both government and families and public health at large. The family care reduces the rate of isolation, and provide a unique insight into issues of family relationship and effects of treatments decision. However, despite improving quality of life to patients through healthcare strategies, families are affected at large extent emotionally, financially, affecting the family relationship, education and work, leisure time and social activities. This last statement is the thesis? Discussion of the issues, relevance, trend and how it evolved The demand for elderly care is important for the aging population because it will help elderly age gracefully free from illness. The primary care helps in diseases management and prevention which is attributed by aging cells over time. The primary cares make it possible for the families to live with their loved one and be able to take care of them during their last day. This will promote social interaction and family units. Still, family care, especially in some culture, is essential in providing care for young one which gives the elderly a chance to live with their grandchildren. The medical practitioner through family care they can be able to get the right information about patient care??unclear. The population that which is highly affected by primary care and family care include public health, families, children in positive? and women who have to sacrifice their career and time to take care of their loved one. This is a major point of concern because it indicates stereotyping?unclear to women at midlife which results in midlife crisis. The Blomqvist, & Busby, 2014, research reveal when elderly reach 65 years of age some lose physical capacity even though not to all patients will lose physical age at 65 because some will have health aging depending on how they can access quality care and stress level and how they seek medical attention which is largely attributed by social factors for example rate of poverty and inclusivity in the healthcare system. The history and growth of elderly care can be attributed to technological development and growth in preventive measures. The rising in population shares of the elderly is driven by a decline in morality along with fertility rates and the trend changed with time due to increase in individual awareness to healthy and changes in healthcare policy that made it possible for people to Acces care. To make it possible for the old population to achieve this kind of aging there must be policies in place that makes it possible to achieve positive trajectories of aging. The healthcare system and improvement in treatment and technology have impacted the growing population of elderly because now people have easy access to medication hence people can seek preventive care on time before any illness can interfere with individual physical and mental capacity. Advancement in the use of technology and Aaccountable care make it possible for elderly for the provider of health to collaborate in order to provide quality of care to the patient and make it easy to access less costly care. (source?) The patient doesn’t need to visit their usual hospital instead they can visit any facility and the practitioners are able to access real-time medical history which reduces chances of medical duplication or errors hence making the patient save on the cost of medical care. The Medicaid, Medicare and affordable care policy make it possible for patients young and old to be able to access care when they need.?? Only in theory, not in reality This has contributed to the population growth because to decline in mortality rate??. Due to that trend and families aspiration to make their loved one live better the need to provide quality care became the main point of concern that led to the increase in demand elderly care. This is a general summary of the growth of the elderly population, but you do not discuss the history of care of the elderely whch is the thesis. Source? Literature review The aging? is the process attributed by gene, biological issues for example weakening of immune system and loss of cell over time as well as environmentally modulated. The environment where an individual is brought up might determine how long an individual might live and any chance of getting a chronic illness. Aging results from the impact of the accumulation of a wide variety of molecular and cellular damage over time. Due to an aging individual lose physical and mental capacity leading to the growing risk of diseases and timely deaths. The changes are inevitable in the long term even through individual might alter the changes through physical exercise and other activities that make one live longer. (source?) The normal aging is influenced by individual factors, habits and behavior, aging-related changes, genetic factors and developing diseases. The environmental factors also play a role in healthy aging due to householder environment, assistive technologies, transportation, and social facilities. Other factors that result to increased aging include effects of chronic illness, malnutrition for example wasting or obesity, respiratory disease such as influenza, pneumonia, neurological disease such as stroke, Parkinson disease, and other illness that speedup individual aging process abnormally. There is great diversity in the population of aging where their those who are 80 years old but still physically and mental capacity is okay as compared to those at youth level. Despite the growing population of the aging population their? other concerns that are increasing to the elderly population that warrants access to community care or primary and still family care in order to make the elderly age gracefully. As per the Baider, & Surbone (2014) research, by 2030 approximately 70 percent of those above 65 years of age will be diagnosed with cancer. Therefore, the elderly will need primary care to provide preventive Medicare care and home care a way of ensuring they can spend better last days with their families. Providing early care is an essential point because it ensures the elderly are able to receive quality care and they can age gracefully. Research conducted by Baider, & Surbone (2014) reveal that growing population demand for care affected the hospital facilities. The rise in number will affect the number of caregivers because the elderly population will demand quality care from their family and primary care which will increase demand for the nurse. Blomqvist, & Busby, (2014), research reveal that demand for long term care is low but after attaining the age of 80 the demand will rise when the elderly lose their physical abilities. As per the Blomqvist, & Busby, (2014), the demand for long-term care will triple in the next 40 years and this will be attributed by a growing number of an aging population. More people will live longer and that require the public sector to expand in order to accommodate the growing population of elderly seeking medical care. Due that growthth?, Crisp, & Chen, (2014), argued that it will have the effect of a severe shortage of health professional that exerts pressure on the healthcare system, the roles of healthcare professional and design of healthcare professional education. This means that not only the healthy care will be affected due to a shortage of nurses but new skills will be needed that would provide care for the elderly. Angel, Vega, & López-Ortega, (2017) research reveal that the growing demands which is expected to take place in the next fifty years will have significant effects to the health care and social security hence increasing dependency on the retiree on the working age population. This will be attributed by early retirement for those who will have to leave jobs for the medical reason as a result of cancer or diabetes and this will mean that the working population will have to cater for medical bill for their elderly if they will have depleted their insurance due to medical cost. Spetz, Trupin, Bates, & Coffman, (2015) predicted that there will be major looming crisis in the labor force if there is rise in elderly population because there will be increased demand for long term healthcare workers even though the population of nurses is shrinking due to poor pay and other contributing factors for example discrimination, job pressures and stereotyping especially for men. As per Pickard, (2015), family care is on the rise to complete the gap and demand for specialized care. The family Family caregiver of older adults suffers a high burden of care and struggle with balance jobs and caregiving task. The federal family and medical leave act (FMLA) did not provide equal access to paid leave which greatly affects primary caregiving (Chen, 2014). Other associated effects of family caregiving as per the Lee, Tang, Kim, & Albert, (2014) is the connection between caregiving and lower holder income. This effect is contributed by the number of hours an individual with the elderly patient will take to work and still sacrifice some hours to take care of the elderly. Some will work for a shorter period in order to have time to take care of their elderly. Sharma, Chakrabarti, & Grover, (2016) research shows that women are more likely to be affected by this trend of low income because they are assumed to cope with stressor different than men. Those living with loved one enjoy providing care for their loved one but they have to sacrifice something to ensure the elderly get the right care. The kind of sacrifice as per Williams, et al., (2016) is their own healthy, families’ happiness, work and wellbeing to be around their loved one which can be attributed to cultural beliefs and parental love. The roles of public policy The public policy has promoted better coordination of care across health and social services as well as cross different level of healthcare. Due to changes in policies people can receive care at their home especially for those under home care services where primary care is provided by the families. The policies have reduced risk of diseases and promote maintenance of function, confidence, and engagement in order to support healthy aging and other impacts of public health policy. Recommendation to address the issues The growth of the elderly population will continue to increase in the future and this means that the demand for primary and family care is necessary. To address this issue the government needs to come up with a proper policy that would increase the number of nurses and increase the grants for nurses to acquire specialized skills, for example, palliative care in order to be able to handle serious issues. policy changes are necessary to federal and medical leave Acts (FMLA) and other medical care act in order to ensure patients receives the right care and the families stress are reduced by ensuring those taking care for elderly are not discriminated on payments. The long term insurance cover should be prolonged even if the elderly saving has been depleted. There should be equality of family responsibilities especially in taking care of the elderly in order to avoid stereotyping on women by applying double standards between men and women. Conclusion The demand for elderly care is on the rising due to the growing aging population attributed by longevity and healthcare transformation which reduce the rate of disease. The specialized care provided to elderly help in improves the quality of life for the patient through reducing diseases. The family care provides required insight to patients to understand the patient illness through conducting patient medical history assessment. In addition, family care promotes family relationship, reduces stress to the elderly and makes the elderly feel like part of the family. The care came with a price to the society where the primary is affected by straining the already incapacitated public health. The family care affects families’ emotionally through inflicting stress, financial burden, affecting relationship and education and other leisure time. Therefore, policy changes are necessary to federal and medical leave Acts (FMLA) and other medical care act in order to ensure patients receives the right care and the families stress are reduced by ensuring those taking care for elderly are not discriminated on payments.
