*What is the fastest growing age group in America today? The rapid growth in the number of seniors in America and around the world is creating a global demographic revolution without precedent. During this century, advances in hygiene and water supply and control of infectious diseases have reduced the risk of premature death much. As a result, the proportion of population over 60 years in the world is growing faster than in any previous era. In 1950 there were approximately 200 million people aged over 60 worldwide. By 2000 there will be over 550 million, and by 2025, the number of people over 60 is expected to reach 1,200 million.
Nowadays, the population of Canada is increasing year by year. According to my research, Ontario has 13.5 million populations, which is two fifths of overall and also approximately 1.5 million are older people. Five years later, population of the elderly might up to twice. In another word, Canada will have a tendency of step into the aging society in the future.
"Are the old real human beings? Judging by the way our society treats them, the question is open to doubt. Since it denies them what they conceive the necessary minimum, and since it deliberately condemns them to the utmost poverty, to the slums, to ill health, loneliness and despair, it affirms that they hold neither the same needs nor the same rights as other members of the community. In order to soothe its conscience, our society's ideologists have invented a certain number of myths - myths that contradict one another, by the way - which induce those in the prime of life to see the aged not as fellow beings but as another kind of being altogether" (Perrin, & Polowy 2008).
Our society nowadays discriminates the elderly and they are being ill treated. However Primitive agrarian cultures very existence depended upon the knowledge earned from experience, valued their elders, but even they were o moved to killing the non productive members of society because of harsh conditions of subsistence living. (Carroll Estes, 2009)
All over the news and in different programs that are implemented are set in place are geared toward children in poverty. Poverty in children is a huge problem happening all over the country but what about the elderly. We get so focus on helping the children that the elderly can sometimes be looked over and forgotten about. In Texas, 17% of all elderly are living in poverty. Poverty in the elderly is an issue that continues to rise at a fast pace and this may be because of food insecurity that they may face (Communities Foundation of Texas, 2016). Most people feel like getting old is so far in the future for them, or just the idea of aging is too hard to think about but getting old for all of us is imminent. The elderly once took care of us, so it is

According to the above fact, the demand for various services for older people is increasing. Sheltered Housing is a great way for an older person to remain independent in their own home and have support available if they required it.
Dementia is a term used to describe symptoms associated with decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to interfere with a person’s ability to perform daily activities. According to studies, more than 5 million people are living with Alzheimer’s and that number is projected to triple by 2050.
These people were held prisoners for hundreds of years with no knowledge on survival as far as taking care of their health and being able to maintain it,
The horrors found inside these marketed homes for the elderly are unbelievable and essentially horrifying. Berens states, “[T]he Times uncovered scores of cases in which elderly victims were imprisoned in their rooms, roped into their beds at night, strapped to chairs during the day so they wouldn’t wander off, drugged into submission or denied medical treatment for weeks” (24). Not only are these elderly victims being tricked, scammed, and completely cheated into getting put in these homes, but they are also being abused. Senior citizens are supposed to be respected, not treated like something less than human; even animals do not deserve to be treated the way the elderly in care homes are most of the time. To go further, Berens informs that an organization called A Place for Mom, a company that assists in finding your elderly loved one a wonderful home, “rakes in tens of millions of dollars a year. The Times found that the company’s referral list contained an adult home with more violations than any other home, a place where a woman had died of an untreated pressure sore”
When presented with the word “elderly,” a twenty-year-old might begin to think of the joys of retirement when an older person has spent their life building a comfortable bank account; they then get to reward themselves by journeying around the world with their near and most dear companion. When reality sets in, that person may realize that a lot of today’s elderly are living in nursing homes or living week-by-week not knowing if they are going to be able to leave their hospital bed just to go relax in their recliner at home. While it is true that some elderly enjoy their last twenty or thirty years on earth, a lot of the elderly in America are struggling to hang on to life while being abused every day by healthcare workers or even loved ones. While many people have been working endlessly to put a stop to elder abuse, not everyone can say the same.

The authors draw an analogy of the old Cynthia who had been kept in the house by her daughter for long such that even the neighbors did not know she was there. She spends her final days in hellish pain after she fell and injured her leg. Cynthia’s case was highlighting the plight of the elderly people all over the world who live a neglected life and die in silence. The old people are left unheard and unseen in the society. Despite their age, they are left to fend for themselves without the society noticing their plight. In most of the interviews conducted by the authors, show that the elderly people are neglected to live in abject poverty. Also, the author argues that the elderly people do live together with their relatives at home. They do estimate that the people they live among in the society abuse at least 4 percent of the elderly
