We’re Getting Old, but We’re Not Doing Anything About It

December 26, 2019 by athomecaregivers Leave a Comment

 

Great perspective on aging in America.  For the Clients I serve, their families know all too well the challenges of aging.  What the author didn’t say is simply this: even if you’re family provides some care at home for their aging parents, getting old is enormously expensive.  Following either path of assistance;  placement in a facility or Home Care Aides.   – Peter Rubens

From The New York Times:

“We’re Getting Old, But We’re Not Doing Anything About It

Like climate change, the aging of America demands a serious rethinking of the way we live.”

Would You Let a Robot Take Care of Your Mother?

December 16, 2019 by athomecaregivers Leave a Comment

 

Robotic companions are being promoted as an antidote to the burden of longer, lonelier human lives. At stake is the future of what it means to be human.

“An aging population is fueling the rise of the robot caregiver, as the devices moving into the homes and hearts of the aging and sick offer new forms of friendship and aid. With the global 65-and-over population projected to more than double by 2050 and the ranks of working age people shrinking in many developed countries, care robots are increasingly seen as an antidote to the burden of longer, lonelier human lives.”‘
