• The number of people that will retire in the coming years will explode!
• All too many have already experienced the lack of public services when it comes to capacity and quality.
• An enormous demand for alternative solutions within health services and living is coming.
• Norway: 1.9M seniors. USA: 50M.
Current options fall short.
How do you want to live when you get older and need help?
The fact that more elderly people are living longer is a desired development and an important public health goal. Today's and tomorrow's seniors will live more healthy and active years. As a group, the elderly population is highly diverse in terms of age range, housing and location, life situation, health condition, education, work, and finances. The group spans from people in their 60s and 70s who are still active and employed, to the oldest seniors, most of whom will experience an increasing need for help and care. The public health challenge is how society and individuals can facilitate as many people as possible experiencing more years of functional health, thereby ensuring sustainable welfare development in the years to come. This involves early intervention and adaptation through housing planning, health-promoting and activity-friendly local environments with meeting places that counteract social isolation and loneliness.
