History of Long Term Care
Thu, 03/23/2006 - 10:20am — Karen StevensonThis section of ElderWeb is a comprehensive overview of how our long term care system has evolved by examining the events and decisions that changed the way that we have provided and paid for the care of our elderly over the years.
Be sure to look at the narratives and illustrations in the Appendix. Many photos and documents come from the wonderful Library of Congress American Memories collection. There are also graphs, tables, and charts of data like changes in life expectancy and long term care utilization.
U.S. Age Demographics, 1990-2000
Thu, 03/23/2006 - 10:22am — Karen StevensonSummary: State-by-state summary of age-related census data for 1990 and 2000.
The U.S. Census Bureau has released state-by-state Census 2000 data that includes breakdowns of the population by age. We have created summaries for each state showing what percentage of the population is age 55+, age 65+, age 75+, age 85+, age 55-64, age 65-74, and age 75-84, calculating the rate of increase for each age group and comparing that to the national ratios and to the data for the 1990 census.
The data also includes figures on the number of households that include anyone age 65 or older (23% nationally) and what percentage of the age 65+ population lives alone (28% nationally).
