Description


On this West Virginia Morning, we’re an aging nation, and the numbers show a growing crisis – 18% of Americans are over 65. The cost of care is lower the longer people stay in their homes, and the trend has led to an explosion in home-based support and care services. On the next episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay focuses on the challenges of care for our growing elderly population.
