Five other findings: 

  • Fifty-one percent of respondents said community support and resources for older adults are done well in the U.S.
  • Forty-five percent said healthcare for older adults is done well.
  • Thirty-seven percent said the quality of care at nursing homes is done well.
  • Only 25 percent of respondents said prescription medication costs are handled well.
  • Twenty-eight percent said mental healthcare is done well.
