Caring.com Report Finds 72% of Gen Zers Plan To Care For Aging Parents, Only 16% Aware of Senior Care Costs

Leave a comment


Gen Zers who plan to be involved in their parents’ senior care anticipate their parents moving in with them or them serving as their parents’ primary or supportive caregivers

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Caring.com, a leading senior living referral service and the nation’s top site for senior care reviews, has published a recent report that examines how Gen Zers plan to care for their parents as they age. The report also shares insight into Gen Xers’ and Baby Boomers’ expectations of their children’s involvement in their future senior care. Overall, Caring.com experts surveyed 1,500 American adults from Gen Zers to Baby Boomers.

According to the 2023 survey, 72% of Gen Z adult respondents plan to be involved in their parents’ future care. However, only 61% of adults in Gen X and the Baby Boomer generation believe their children will be involved in their future senior care. Gen Zers who plan to be involved anticipate that either their parents will move in, or they may take on a primary or supportive caregiver role.

Furthermore, 60% of Gen Z respondents plan to provide ‘full’ or ‘partial financial support’ for future care costs. On the contrary, only 45% of Gen X and Baby Boomer respondents anticipate their children will fully and partially cover future care costs. Despite Gen Z’s willingness to care for their aging parents, only 16% are aware of the average annual cost of full-time senior care: $50,000 to $70,000. Furthermore, less than 4 in 10 Gen X and Baby Boomers have talked to their children about their future care plans.

“Our survey clearly outlines discrepancies between Gen Z’s plans and Gen X and Baby Boomers’ expectations regarding future senior care needs and associated costs,” says Susann Crawford, VP of Sales at Caring.com. “While aging may be a sensitive and scary topic to bring up, these family discussions help ensure that everyone is on the same page and initiate the future planning process.”

Survey results also highlight why 10% of Gen Z respondents do not plan to be involved in their parents’ care. Among this group:

  • 33% say they ‘don’t think they will have enough money’
  • 31% say they ‘don’t think they will close enough’
  • 29% say ‘someone else will do it’

Additionally, among Gen X and Baby Boomer respondents who do not believe their children will provide care:

  • 40% say their children ‘won’t be willing to spend the time or money it would take’
  • 38% say their children ‘don’t think they will close enough’
  • 32% say their children ‘won’t have enough time to provide care’

In partnership with PollFish, Caring.com surveyed 1,500 American adults over the age of 18 – 500 Generation Zers, 500 Generation Xers, and 500 Baby Boomers – to determine if parents and children have the same expectations for parents’ future care needs. The survey was conducted online on October 3, 2023.

AltaPointe Health’s Supported Employment Program Empowers Individuals with Serious Mental Illness to Find Meaningful Work and Independence

Leave a comment


Each person’s needs, preferences, and abilities are recognized and documented to create a customized employment plan. This individualized profile helps AltaPointe employment specialists work with the individual to identify job opportunities that match their skills, interests, and goals.
Once employed, individuals receive ongoing support, including coaching, counseling, and job accommodations, to help them succeed in their chosen roles.

This approach aims to reduce stigma related to mental health in the workplace, both among employers and coworkers. It focuses on helping individuals become fully integrated into the workforce and community, promoting a sense of belonging and purpose.

“AltaPointe’s Supported Employment program is a valuable service that recognizes the unique challenges individuals diagnosed with a serious mental illness face and strives to create inclusive and supportive work environments where they can thrive. It’s an important step in promoting mental health and reducing the disparities faced in the workplace,” Tuerk Schlesinger, AltaPointe Health CEO, shared. “Furthermore, competitive employment is integral to recovery and supports AltaPointe’s mission to promote wellness for the populations we serve.”

The argument that individuals with a serious mental illness should not or cannot work is empty, as many can and do work effectively. AltaPointe’s current agency-wide data shows that 19.77% of adult consumers with a serious mental illness (SMI) work in competitive jobs, with 12.97% working full-time and 6.80% working part-time.

For more information on the Supported Employment Program, please call (251) 450-4301 or visit https://altapointe.org/services/supported-employment/.

Soft Bones Announces the 2023 Recipient of Hypophosphatasia Research Grant

Leave a comment


“The Soft Bones Scientific Advisory Board was delighted this year to review, once again, highly competitive grants aimed to help patients with HPP,” according to Dr. Michael P. Whyte, Chairman of the Soft Bones Scientific Advisory Board. “The proposal from Dr. Stenhouse will shed light on one of the least understood complications of HPP.”

The proposed study seeks novel insights into the role of the deficient tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase on lung development and function while exploring the respiratory failure associated with the severe forms of HPP in people. The proposed experiments, using a sheep model, will investigate temporal changes in lung and diaphragm RNA expression and pathology of HPP.

“We are excited to use these funds for this new avenue of HPP research, which will enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying respiratory complications in HPP,” says Dr. Stenhouse.

Soft Bones funds research to understand HPP with the goal of finding a cure. The foundation has awarded over $500,000 in research grants since 2014, supporting HPP investigators through this Maher Family Annual Hypophosphatasia Research Grant. More information about HPP as well as existing and ongoing research can be found at www.SoftBones.org.

About Hypophosphatasia: HPP is an inherited, metabolic (chemical) bone disease of remarkably broad-ranging severity that causes life-threatening complications in approximately one per 100,000 births. There can be limb deformity, fractures, and chest deformity that leads to pneumonias. While currently there is no cure for HPP, medical and supportive treatment is directed towards preventing or correcting its signs, symptoms, and complications.

About Soft Bones, Inc.: Soft Bones, the US Hypophosphatasia Foundation, is a patient advocacy group founded in 2009 to educate, empower, and connect patients living with HPP, their families, and caregivers. The Foundation also promotes research of rare bone disease through awareness and fundraising efforts.
