Description
Marissa Bergh, Aasha Raval, and Jasmine Travers study unmet needs among older adults who live alone in a 2023 paper. Solo elders lack a housemate to lean on for daily tasks, which puts their health at risk. The team used a large national poll of aging and health.
They found near three and a half thousand older adults who needed help with daily or household tasks. Close to three in ten lived alone, and they were more apt to be women with no spouse and no close helper. The team set their unmet needs next to peers who live with others. Care planners gain a clear view of where solo elders fall through the cracks.
