California Elder Abuse Attorney Talks about Who Is Caring for Our Elderly

The United States population is aging at a rapid pace. The government is worried about how they are going to provide Social Security to the millions of Americans that become eligible to receive it every year. Companies have cut back on pensions because people are living longer and they can’t afford to pay them. Census date tells us that the percentage of people living in the United States over the age of 65 is three times higher than it was a century ago. That should be good news for those of us that haven’t reached our twilight years yet. With advances in medicine and better quality of life, we should be able to look forward to living longer and better lived. Unfortunately, that may depend on who is taking care of us when we get there.
