The number of people reaching retirement will double in number by 2030, accounting for an increase from 12 percent of the U.S. population to almost 20 percent” (“Caring for an Aging America: Meeting the Health Care Needs of Older Adults”).

I am basing this on the current retirement issues. I am not sure when I will stop working although I know that individuals who retire now retire around the age of 50 or so. My own mother retired in her mid-50s, but this will not be the case for my generation. As discussed in class, people…

friends and enjoys giving back to the community in their free time. This is view is largely shaped by my grandparents, who each at different levels of physical decline, are still very active in the community. In recent years I have had the privilege of working and volunteering at Pembina Place Personal Care Home.

Prediction of Future Successful Aging My definition of successful aging is reaching old age in good health, independent and healthy social life. Successfully retiring from the postal service at age of 54, I’ve already began to experience aspects of the retirement phase.

The drop in housing values paired with losses in stock prices has cause millions of Americans to lose a considerable amount of their planned retirement funding. However, despite the slow growth, the assisted living facility industry has fared better than most other industries in the recent economic climate. For some, including those with dementia and Alzheimer’s,…

Elderly people overpopulate the United States because of the baby boomer trend and we must do something to put an end to it. Old people are ruining the United States and who is to blame but the parents of the baby boomers who apparently could not just have one children, but had to procreate at least two or more all because of the war and now our country is paying for it not them. The two questions you may have are, why is this a problem and how are we going to deal with it? This is a problem…

funded and are administered exclusively from Washington. It is a rare case of highly successful public policy that has been both popular and effective since its inception in 1935. Its main function is to pay cash benefits to those who have reached retirement age or suffered the death of a spouse and mainly seeks to provide an essential financial safety net beneath private savings. While Social Security has largely eliminated poverty among the elderly and is thought as being successful in…
