The New York Times and Kaiser Health News are looking into whether Americans have enough resources and help as they age.
As Americans live longer, it is increasingly difficult and expensive to ensure that older people receive the medical and personal help they need, whether at home or in a care facility. That includes assistance with getting up and about, bathing and taking medications. Likewise, older people with dementia or other cognitive issues need help.
Are you receiving support with everyday living from family members, friends, nurses or aides? Are you providing support yourself? Paying for it to help someone else?
