Research Review: Brookfield’s Aging Adults Need Senior Care Solutions

With more than 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, and Brookfield’s senior population projected to soon outnumber our children, it is safe to say that the Aging of America is underway.

But while the quantity of senior citizens is certainly on the rise, the quality of their aging experiences shows serious room for improvement.

For example, in the United Health Foundation’s “2023 Senior Report,” researchers found:

  • The rate of seniors’ physical distress increased, with the percentage of adults aged 65 and older who reported their physical health was not good for 14 of the last 30 days increasing 9% from 2020 to 2023.
  • The rate of senior physical inactivity increased, with 6% more seniors living sedentary lifestyles in 2023.
  • Millions of seniors are now at risk for social isolation, which researchers say is as unhealthy as smoking 15 cigarettes per day! The end of pandemic safety protocols has not improved the situation, with the percentage of adults aged 50-80 who feel isolated still exceeding pre-pandemic rates.

The data does not paint a flattering picture, but these national statistics don’t have to reflect your loved one’s aging experience. In fact, each of these issues are entirely preventable, and with the help of our senior care team, you can give your loved ones the retirement of their dreams.
