    Introduction - Home Nursing the Elderly

    Did you know that around 41 million people are about the age of 65 in the USA alone? All over the world, the statistics can be counted in millions because the life expectancy rate of people living in the 21st century has increased due to better living conditions, medical facilities and healthier food.

    That is why once upon a time when a person was considered to be lucky if he managed to live to his 30th or 40th year – Europe in medieval times – the given lifespan of three score and ten allocated naturally to a man should not come as a surprise today.
