Every single day over 10,000 Americans turn 65.
By 2030, older adults will outnumber children under 10 for the first time in history, with more than 1.4 billion people aged 60 and older globally.
The need for senior care is rapidly growing. With more Americans living longer, this expanding population is unlike anything our society has supported before.
