LONG TERM CARE

The demand for long-term healthcare services is driven by an aging population, increased life expectancy and a decline in the number of senior care facilities. The number of Americans aged 65 or older will climb to 40 million by 2010 and to 54 million by 2020, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Government spending on nursing homes will grow from $106.6 billion in 2002 to $194.6 billion in 2014, an annual growth rate of 5.1 percent, says the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Still, a rise in alternative assisted living facilities matches a decline in certified nursing homes—from 17,014 (1,708,500 beds) in 1999 to 16,032 (1,676,770 beds) in June 2005, according to the American Health Care Association. So how will America meet the long-term care needs of its citizens? What talents, skills and expertise will drive the patient care revolution?
