Reimagining Long-Term Care

By 2030, 1 in 5 U.S. residents will reach retirement age, and a majority will need some form of long-term care during their lifetimes. But the high cost of care and a shortage of caregivers are leaving older adults and their families with few places to turn. How we address the caregiving crisis today will determine our quality of life in the years ahead.
