- The impending “Age Wave” of older adults (retiring baby-boomers), promises unprecedented challenges and risks to the people of this Archdiocese.
|
|
- By 2030, 1 in 4 Minnesotans will be age 65 or older, double the current number.
- The number of individuals age 85 and over will triple.
- An estimated one-third of baby boom seniors will not have adequate financial resources for retirement.
- Another one-third will be living in poverty.
- At least half of all Twin Cities senior households will not be able to afford the housing they require.
- Dramatic Increases in Americans with Alzheimer’s Disease is Projected.
- The Need for Long-Term Care will Triple by 2050.
- Family care giving is dropping dramatically and the ratio of Caregivers to Older Adults dropping.
|
|
- Rising costs and diminishing public funding are seriously affecting the welfare of those in need of housing, services, comprehensive rehabilitation and long-term care.
- In every age, the Catholic Church has followed the timeless command of Christ, to serve and love our neighbor … and responded to the unique needs of the present day. The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis recognizes the dignity and value of older adults and holds them as a high priority.
- Human life and the dignity of the human person are under attack today. The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis proclaims Christ’s Gospel of life in an age which increasingly marginalizes those in need, especially at the beginning and towards the end of life.
