As Kalorama publishes its second edition of this detailed report on the long term care industry and all of its segments, there is no decrease in demand or activity for everything from nursing homes, to home care, to hospices. The U.S. long care industry has experienced strong growth from 2002 through 2007 and this growth is expected to accelerate through the forecast period as the U.S. population continues to age and demand rises for long term care. Ongoing cost containment will continue to pressure both private and public managed care organizations, however, new premium-priced specialty services such as dementia care and upscale living options will create growth opportunities.
