Why OPT-IN for Senior Care Services

Geriatric care is in high demand due to multiple factors including an aging global population, increased life expectancy, and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in older adults. This leads to a greater need for specialized care, long-term care services, and supportive care to manage these conditions and maintain the quality of life for our seniors.

· Aging in Place:

Many older adults prefer to age in place in their homes, which necessitates in-home care services, home modifications, and assistive technologies.  

· Caregiver Burnout:

Family caregivers often struggle with the physical and emotional strain of caring for an aging parent or loved one, leading to burnout and increased demand for professional care. 

· Quality of Life:

Geriatric care focuses on improving the overall quality of life for older adults, including their physical and mental well-being, and promoting independence and dignity.

· Shortage of Geriatric Care Professionals:

There's a shortage of healthcare professionals trained in geriatrics, further straining the system and contributing to the high demand for geriatric care.
