On the good news front, one of the current trends in elderly care is an increased reliance on tech to help elderly individuals maintain their independence. They are increasingly using alarms, text messaging notifications and similar to help them take their medication without a person supervising that in person and to notify a relative if they fall and fail to get back up and similar.

Technology is helping to address the issue in a way which reduces the need younger labor to care for an aging population while simultaneously improving quality of life for the elderly. Win/Win.
