Advances in public health strategies: Addressing elderly care policies

Abstract

Population aging is a significant medical and sociodemographic issue facing the world today. While the financial circumstances of older adults have seen some progress in recent decades, a significant number of senior citizens in the United States still grapple with the challenges of affording daily necessities and encounter inadequacies in their health insurance coverage. Current research has explored the challenges in elderly care, including shortages of medical staff and the need for integrating medical care with nursing care. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive policy approaches to address these issues. This article analyzes the current landscape of elderly care policies and proposes strategies to improve the independence and caregiving abilities of older people. The key findings suggest that increasing fertility rates through government policies and promoting the integration of nursing and medical care can significantly improve the quality of life for the elderly. The proposed "medical care and elderly care" model combines medical treatment with principles of elderly care, offering a more comprehensive approach to meet the health and well-being needs of older adults. The insights from this article provide valuable references for future policymaking and research in elderly care. However, further studies are needed to explore the implementation and effectiveness of these proposed strategies in various contexts. Future research should also focus on developing innovative solutions to address the growing challenges in elderly care as the global population continues to age.
