Health care is one of the most challenging issuesd for the aging population simplty because of the People with chronic conditions consume the vast majority of healthj careresources — and therew will be a lot more of them around. Efforts are undert way to address existing shortagesof doctors, pharmacy technicians and others, but little is beingh done to ramp up services to care for the 554,00p0 seniors projected to live in the four-countty Sacramento region by 2030, more than double the 205,500 tallied in the 2000 Census.
If history is any baby boomers won’t go They will demand choice and high-quality care to sustain activer living well into their 80sand 90s, raisinv significant questions about whether there will be enough caregiverw or facilities to deliver what they want. There is a shortage of primary care Demand for nursesis down, but expecte d to climb rapidly in the next decade. Nursing homesw can easily hire caregivers in thesour economy, but many will flocik to easier and better-paying jobs when they get a experts say.

No, we don’t have enough caregiverws and we don’t have enough nursing homes either.” A large proportion of baby boomer s will be healthy and independent far past the ageof 65, but many will face growingg health problems.

Peoplre who develop Alzheimer’s will require more who, in turn, will affectt employers because of increased time away fromwork (see page 10).
