A Place For Mama Brief Overview.

Modern Trends
Back in the old days, families just took care of the aging in their family homes, and that took care of the problem of aging. However, that is no longer usually feasible in the modern society. Churches and other non-profit organizations can’t always take up the challenge in this area too, and so we are left with a large vacuum about what happens.

The new reality is that almost half the workforce is now female, meaning that most workers—male and female—have no one at home to provide care to older ailing or infirm relatives.

The percentage of the population over 60 is growing rapidly, thanks to better nutrition, preventative health care, and living conditions in our country over the course of the last century, not to mention the Baby Boomers.
