How many people live in nursing homes now compared to 10 years ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Agree with Dr.Beresh: I'm sure the exact number may be difficult to find but i'm sure the number has increased and will continue to increase as the "baby boomers" are aging and the number of geriatric population will increase. I would expect the number of people in asssited living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes and independent living facilities to increase.
