\nWhy one sh
ould attend the training
\nThe US population is rapidly agin
g. With age often comes wisdom\, but also chronic health problems and thei
r attendant limitations on mobility\, vision\, and physiologic function ge
nerally. Age segregated\, institutional long-term care is a multi-billion
dollar industry aiming to help solve these problems\, but its expense is b
ecoming unsustainable\, and its appeal to seniors is likely to decline fur
ther with aging of Baby Boomers. Such facilities will always be necessary\
, but their desirability will likely shrink as their affordability already
has. Our society needs to develop fresh approaches\, and &ldquo\;thriving
in place&rdquo\; is one. That path is not a panacea\, however\, and it do
es not cure the illnesses afflicting so many older Americans. If we are to
develop better methods to manage these problems\, we must do so with full
appreciation of both the risks and the benefits of the alternatives. This
presentation will concentrate on the medicolegal issues framed by the gro
wing trend of facilitating aging at home.\n
