title: Elder caregiving in the 21st century.
abstract: The need for high-quality elder care is on the increase because of the aging of the baby boomers, whose parents are living longer than any previous generation. This trend will demand that home care providers be prepared to meet the elder care needs of not only their clients but also of their own employees.
