Ageism in Long-Term Care

With more than 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, ageism has become a national concern that influences healthcare delivery, policy development, and daily operations in senior care environments. The impact of ageism in the post-acute and long-term care sector is intensifying, and, as demographic shifts accelerate and more adults age with chronic conditions, age-based bias affects health outcomes, care quality, and the well-being of millions.
