Care For Older People

In the developed, as well as developing countries, there is an immediate challenge to ensure an adequate supply of health professionals trained in providing care for older people to meet the needs of increasing numbers. Currently 20% of the population of the United Kingdom (UK) is over 60 – 12 million people. By 2031 this proportion will be nearly a third – 18.6 million people. The largest increases are anticipated among the over-85 age group, from 0.8 million in 1987 to 1.4 million in 2025. In Europe the number of people aged over 80 years will double within the next 25 to 30 years. It is estimated that there will be more than 1.2 billion elderly people in the world by the year 2025 – three-quarters of them living in the developing countries.

Care For Older People

There comes a time in the lives of a minority of older people when the extent of their disabilities makes it impossible for them to continue living in their own homes. When this happens, long-term institutional care may be the only option. Given that most residents in long-term care are over 75 years old and that the numbers in this age group will increase into the next century, we can expect an increase in the number of people requiring long-term care.
