Editor's Note:
As the baby boomer generation lurches--sometimes kicking and screaming--into old age, ten thousand of us become eligible for Medicare each day. By 2030, one-fifth of thepopulation will be 65 and older, compared to 13 percent in 2015. The fastest-growing population--the "oldest old," 85 and older--will number nine million by 2030, more thandouble their number in 2015. By 2050, the number of Americans requiring long-term care is expected to more than double from 13 million in 2000 to 27 million.This book chronicles Ellen Rand's journey through this unwelcome territory, beginning with the illnesses and loss of her parents and continuing through more than five years as a hospice volunteer. Though she had initially aimed to write solely about hospice, it soon became clear that there were so many broader, interwoven issues in end-of-life care. She broadened her reporting to cover such issues as medical and nursing education, dementia care, long-term care alternatives, challenges faced by minority, gay, and transgender populations, and public policy.The book grew out of one basic question that kept nagging at her not long after she became a hospice volunteer: Why do people enter into hospice care so late in the course of their illness?So late that they don't have the chance take full advantage of all that hospice offers. So late that there isn't sufficient time to develop the trust, ease and, yes, friendship that can provide great comfort for the ill and their families experiencing what is likely the biggest challenge of their lives. Call it curiosity, call it frustration, call it exercising a reporter's muscles, this question drove her to begin researching the current realities of end-of-life care. She wanted to learn: how can we do this better?An optimist by nature, her goal was to look to the pathfinders and innovations in caring for people with advanced and life-limiting illness to learn how the future might be dramatically different for the coming wave of aging baby boomers.The seeds for better end-of-life care have been planted. It is up to all of us to nurture the seeds and insist on the kinds of changes we'll need.
