Why San Antonio, USA?

San Antonio being the second largest city in south-central Texas is also rich in the people aged above 65 and expected to double by the year 2030. The population aged 85 and over, which is the group most likely to need health and long-term care services, is projected to increase by 350%. Between 2000 and 2050, the number of older people in San Antonio is projected to increase by 65% than in 2014. Over this time period, the proportion of the population that is over the age of 65 will increase from 13.2% in 2000 to 22.5% in 2050; the proportion of the population that is age 85 and older will increase from 1.9% in 2000 to 5.2% in 2050. As a result of this consequence, Geriatric care management has been developed in San Antonio which entails working with persons of old age and their families in managing, rendering and referring various types of health and social care services. Geriatric care managers accomplish this by combining a working knowledge of health and psychology, human development, family dynamics, public and private resources and funding sources, while advocating for their clients throughout the continuum of care. US revenues for elder care service providers are expected to grow 6.3% per year, approaching $400 billion in 2018.
