    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Public Policy
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • The senior citizen demographic, especially those 75+, is rapidly expanding in the US.
    • Elderly individuals, particularly those reliant on Social Security, disproportionately experience poverty.
    • The current retirement system faces financial sustainability issues, exacerbated by the aging baby boomer generation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the increasing needs of the senior population.
    • To identify challenges in accessing support programs and healthcare.
    • To propose policy recommendations for retirement financing and elder care.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of demographic trends and federal budget allocation for seniors.
    • Review of current retirement financing models and healthcare system biases.

  • Examination of existing support networks for the impaired elderly.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant federal resources are allocated to seniors, yet access to programs remains difficult.
    • The retirement system is under financial strain, projected to worsen by 2030.
    • The healthcare system is ill-equipped for the long-term needs of the elderly, favoring institutionalization over community-based care.

    Conclusions:

    • Urgent policy attention is required to address the financial challenges of retirement systems.
    • Healthcare services must be adapted to better serve seniors with chronic illnesses, emphasizing community and in-home care.
    • Strengthening informal support networks and public-private partnerships is crucial for comprehensive elder care.
