The majority of older adults live in nursing homes

False. At any one time, only about 5 percent of people 65 and older are living in nursing homes, and the percentage is decreasing. However, a far greater percentage of people can expect a limited nursing home stay at some point in their lives. Older adults can help themselves stay healthy by living a healthful lifestyle and continuing the activities that they enjoy.

This also because of the weariness that with the baby boomers the need for care workers are higher then ever before.

With care workers they are able to come in to the home and help with daily activities. Such as bathing, dressing, eating, cleaning, and simple chores that an elderly or disable person may need.
