(Piscataway, NJ) – For the third year in a row, Parker Health Group, Inc. conducted a national survey to gauge changing perceptions around aging in America. The results reveal disparities between different genders and age groups. Men are 13% more likely to consider someone “old” compared to women. Similarly, Millennials and people in the Generation X age group are far more likely to think of a person as “old” by the time they hit their 70s than members of the Baby Boomer and Silent generations.

A changing model of healthcare delivery is the focus of $2.5 million Parker Foundation grant awarded this month to Visiting Nurse Association Health Group (VNA) to support its Advanced Care Institute.
The institute aims to address the healthcare needs of high-risk older adults who are often living with multiple chronic health conditions by providing high quality, compassionate care in the home and in the community.
According to a news release, the funding will be used to expand the institute's efforts to provide in-home primary care through its “house calls” model and palliative medicine, with the goal of helping the VNA and Parker to develop and support new or improved programming in these areas that help patients and their caregivers.
