Caretaking for Aging Parents
The population of older adults (65 and older) in the U.S. is growing rapidly, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. By 2030, the number of older Americans is expected to reach 73 million, making up more than 20% of the total population. As individuals age, they may require varying levels of care, which their adult children often provide. Adult children commonly experience uncertainty when confronted with the prospect of caring for their parents.
