In the past 20 years, the older population in America has grown twice as quickly as all other age groups. The 85 and older age group is expected to be seven times its present size by the year 2050.
This population trend, which has created a large and growing number of frail elderly people in need of caregiving services, is accompanied by several other trends which suggest that caregiving may become more difficult to provide in the future. Studies published by organizations such as The National Council on Aging, Metropolitan Life, AARP, and the National Family Caregivers Association document the serious drain on workforce productivity, while estimating that employer costs related to elder caregiving falls between $29 to $33 billion. These costs are expected to grow dramatically in the next five years as caregiving responsibilities grow and the labor force shrinks.
As state and federal budget cuts in such programs as Medicare and Medicaid reduce availability of formal support services, family caregivers continue to provide the majority of long-term care to older adults. It is estimated that 80% of care for older adults is provided by their families. Nearly one in three American households has caregiving responsibilities for older dependent adults.
ELPO is a nationwide program that helps any caregiver with the issues inherent in eldercare, whether the elder lives in a nursing home, at the employee's home, or in another state.
