Eldercare and Aging Population: Novus Health Helps Organizations Support Older Individuals and Their Caregivers

TORONTO, Feb. 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Canada is experiencing an unprecedented change in its population: by 2030, nearly a quarter of Canadians will be 65 or older. What's more, older individuals are continuing to play an active role in the labour force, with the number of employed elderly people nearly doubling between 2000 and 2013. This demographic shift is providing new challenges to the health care system—and to employers.
