Too many. Lazy butt Americans, if you're out there -- step it up and take care of your elderly parents! They fed you, bathed you, wiped your bottoms and patted your tooshies with powder, is it too much to do the same for them?

17% reside in nursing homes (2005 study) 83% live with family (2005 study) 1.3 million are in nursing homes and it's still growing! With Baby Boomers coming up the Medical Care in the U.S. and Canada are basically sweating bullets as to how to care for the up-coming elderly. As is, there are not enough doctors, nurses, nurses aides to accommodate what patients are in nursing homes and unfortunately, in more cases than one would like to think elderly abuse is on the rise so it's adviseable for families to take turns during each week (even twice a week) to visit their loved one in the nursing home at ODD HOURS (not around dinner or when the staff expects visitors) but NOT too late in the evening. By 2030 they feel that the elderly will have to count on their families to look after them.
