Americans 65+ are expected to represent 22% of the population by 2040. That's roughly 73 million seniors. Over 77% of older adults prefer to age in place, requiring the community to work together to combat challenges such as social isolation, mobility, and food insecurity. YWCA San Gabriel Valley and The Loop Village have been creative partners in helping to ensure our older community members have nutritious food and community, in-person or virtual, when they need it. Many thanks to Amanda Starrantino and KCAL News for telling the story. #olderamericansmonth #seniormeals https://lnkd.in/g7cWM4ph

The Silent Suffering: Shedding Light on the Neglected Plight of Elderly Citizens:-- In the bustling fabric of modern society, the plight of our elderly often goes unnoticed, overshadowed by the clamor of contemporary issues. Yet, behind closed doors, a silent suffering pervades, as countless elders endure neglect, isolation, and inadequate care. This is a pressing concern that demands our attention and action. One of the most distressing aspects of the bad condition of elders in society is the neglect prevalent within nursing homes. Many elderly individuals, who have contributed immeasurably to their families and communities, find themselves abandoned or overlooked within these institutions. For those who once nurtured families and fostered communities, the indignity of neglect in their twilight years is a heart-wrenching reality. :An article published on the related issues in my own views..... #SilentSuffering #neglect #ElderlyCitizens #heartwrenchingreality #families #socialimpact #societyandculture #society #mothers #universities

Seniors deserve to age in place with dignity and comfort. Transitioning to appropriately modified 55+ communities ensures accessibility, safety, and social engagement. The difficulty is finding communities that are modified properly. Let's support initiatives that empower our elders to live independently and happily, but also focus on client specific recommendations to ensure safety and independence. Nothing cookie-cutter. #ada does not apply in these situations and #universaldesign is another blanket term that redirects the focus away from a client-centered approach. #SeniorLiving #AgingInPlace #55PlusCommunities #downsizing doesn't mean sacrificing #independence . By relocating to 55+ communities with personally tailored modifications, seniors can enjoy the freedom to live life on their terms while receiving the support they need. Let's prioritize dignified aging for our elders. #callbeforemomfalls #fallprevention
