A COMPLEX MEDICAL WORLD
Seniors now account for over 47 million individuals in the United States, with that number expected to soon double according to The United States Census Bureau. Advancements in medical care, preventative medicine and treatment are largely to thank. However, the aging population brings with it unique challenges related to care and support.
Seniors and their caretakers can quickly become overwhelmed with the level of care, information, medications, appointments that often come with aging.
