Description
Medical advances have enabled an unprecedented number of Americans to live longer lives, but some consequences of widespread longevity aren't altogether welcome. This episode of Frontline shows how, for millions of Americans, staving off mortality means facing chronic illness and a prolonged physical decline. Moreover, as the need for geriatric care is rising, the number of available caregivers is actually dwindling. Underscoring major challenges to America's overburdened health care system, the film addresses the fear of many experts-that we are on the threshold of a major crisis for our nation's senior citizens.
