Snapshot of Senior Care
In a U.S. Today report in August, 2013, New Hampshire was ranked number three in its quality of health care for seniors and the
elderly
![Page 6: Aging & Disabilities in New Hamsphire](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554c3218b4c90513198b53d5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
34 measures of senior health were used to define the healthcare
statistics
![Page 7: Aging & Disabilities in New Hamsphire](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554c3218b4c90513198b53d5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Among them were physical activity, poverty, drug coverage,
hospital re-admissions and flu vaccinations
![Page 8: Aging & Disabilities in New Hamsphire](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554c3218b4c90513198b53d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
From a national perspective:
1 in 8 Americans (13% or 40.3 million) are 65 or older
By 2030, projections are for this segment of the population to grow to
19.3% or 72 million
By then, the collective baby boomer generation will have reached the age
of 65
![Page 9: Aging & Disabilities in New Hamsphire](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554c3218b4c90513198b53d5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Bureau of Census states that by 2050, seniors will make up 25% of the
population

Further, those 85 and older are projected to increase from 5.8 million in 2010 to 8.7 million in
2030

Higher Ranking States
![Page 12: Aging & Disabilities in New Hamsphire](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554c3218b4c90513198b53d5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Those states that scored well reflect a number of factors, including a large number of seniors who report being
in very good or excellent health, high
rates of creditable drug coverage, easier
access to home health care workers and a
low rate of seniors at risk of going hungry
![Page 13: Aging & Disabilities in New Hamsphire](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070314/554c3218b4c90513198b53d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Those states in the top three also have lower hospitalization rates
for fractures

By contrast, the lower ranking states (Mississippi ranked lowest), a high percentage of seniors live
in poverty and are at risk of going hungry

Premature deaths are high and a troubling low percentage of
seniors say they are in GOOD HEALTH
