Single seniors face rising numbers and planning needs
The latest U.S. Census shows fewer Americans marrying or having children, while the American Geriatrics Society urges agencies to serve all seniors regardless of marital status. Unmarried seniors have grown 50 percent since 1980, many divorced or widowed, with more arriving at 65 never married or childless. The piece urges early planning, advance directives, financial and estate plans, and elder care help, noting single seniors may lack family support and rely on friends and professionals.
