Thank you for considering supporting the Healthy Aging Innovation Center!

Access to care for our seniors is in serious jeopardy. The United States will soon have 70 million seniors with only 1.7 million licensed beds to care for them1. Meanwhile only 13% of those needing care can afford a facility even if it were available2. To compound the problem, the availability of family caregivers is expected to drop by 43% by 20303 and only 14% of older adults needing care can afford to pay for in-home care4.

Seniors desperately need innovations that can help them age at home. They need innovations to help them take care of their health, reduce falls, assist with daily living and connect with family and friends. Interestingly, statics show they want to age at home and are open to innovations that will help them do so.

Your donation will help us supply providers of products and services with resources in the form of training programs, market assistance projects, best practice reports, research and events all aimed at getting aging at home innovations to seniors.

Please help us help our seniors to age at home safely, independently and with dignity!

Sincerely,
The Center Team
