Many factors play a part in bone health. Bone breaks down faster than the body can build new bone tissue as we age. Osteoporosis is a condition where the bone is weakened to a point when an injury occurs easily with normal activity.

Caregivers

Caregiving Services : What is Caregiving?

Caregivers, who now are most often family members, are a very important part of the healthcare continuum. Without the assistance of in-home caregiving, hospitals, nursing homes, and rehab centers would be overwhelmed and costs would rise higher than insurance would be willing to cover. The average age of a caregiver is 49, however, there are a large number of elderly folks (approx. 10%) who have been thrust into the role. One of the biggest obstacles is getting help for the caregivers themselves. 48 million Americans are caregivers for someone 18yrs of age or older. The majority of people in this role have had no formal training in nursing or nursing care.
