Letter from the Director of Piedmont Triad Regional Council Area Agency on Aging
September 2012
Dear Citizens and Public Officials of Alamance County,
The landscape of the population is in the midst of a change that is unprecedented in our history or experience. The group of people born between 1946 and 1964, known as the Baby Boomers, began to reach age 65 in 2008. It is estimated that 10,000 ‘Boomers’ turn 65 every day. As this unique population segment moves through its senior years, the existing infrastructure of health care and other vital resources needed for their support will be stretched to capacity and beyond.
The Administration on Aging of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services publishes annually the Profile of Older Americans report. The 2011 edition describes that in the United States, “the population 65 and over has increased from 35 million in 2000 to 40 million in 2010 (a 15% increase) and is projected to increase to 55 million in 2020 (a 36% increase for that decade). By 2030, there will be about 72.1 million older persons, more than twice their number in 2000. People 65+ represented 13.1% of the population in the year 2010 but are expected to grow to be 19.3% of the population by 2030. The 85+ population is projected to increase from 5.5 million in 2010 and then to 6.6 million in 2020 (19%) for that decade.”
The implications of this singular wave of population growth, with its unprecedented life expectancy and other unique characteristics, impact every sector of society.
This report has been prepared to give a detailed snapshot of the population landscape in Alamance County and the unique ways in which it will change over the next twenty years as your population of older adults increases. Studies show that when communities function well for children, the same features benefit the elderly and the disabled. In other words, a holistic approach to care of our citizens makes sense. With the potential of decreasing federal and state funding support for special population programs, creative partnerships must be forged within each county’s infrastructure to meet the increasing demands posed by the wave of Baby Boomers. Innovative ideas need to cross county lines to allow for positive growth. The task of the Piedmont Triad Regional Council Area Agency on Aging is to identify measures that can be taken now to ensure the health and well-being of the aging and disabled for the benefit of all the communities in the county in the decades ahead.
Consider this report as a starting point in an ongoing dialog among public officials, civic leaders, planners, citizens, and professionals. The goal is to empower stakeholders to make qualified decisions for continual improvement in the delivery systems of services and resources for the increasing number of individuals who are aging or disabled and their caregivers in Alamance County.
Sincerely,
Kim Dawkins Berry Director, Area Agency on Aging, Piedmont Triad Regional Council

Demographics Older Adults Compared with an overall growth rate of 15.5% for the county, the older adult population (60 years of age and over) increased 28.8% between 2000 and 2010. The growth rate for the total population decreased from 1990 to 2010, while the growth rate for the older adult population (60 years of age and over) increased.2,3,4 The table below shows the growth rates for the total population compared to the older adult age categories between 1990 and 2000 and between 2000 and 2010.

Compared to the past twenty years, projections for the future twenty years paint a slightly different picture. While the rate of growth will continue to decrease for the total population, there are significant changes to the pattern for the aging population in Alamance County. While the past twenty years evidenced increases in the growth rate for the under 74 age group, the next twenty years will see decreases in their growth rates. The past twenty years showed decreasing growth rates for those age 74 and over, and the next twenty years will show mixed rates for those age 75 and over. Alamance’s pattern of a mixed rate of growth in age 75+ segment is unique among the twelve counties in the region, who will experience increases in both groups.

The bar chart below provides graphic illustration of both the rates of growth discussed from the tables on the previous page and the actual growth of the age 60+ population depicted in the table on the following page. Taking each bar as a whole, note that from 1990 to 2030, the total 60+ population will double (209% growth, from approximately 21,468 to 44,965 persons). The total 60+ population is projected not only to grow, but to grow at an increasing rate, depicted by the taller height of the bars over time.
The blue segment of age 60-64 will stay relatively flat and even decrease due to the lower birth rates of the generation following the Baby Boomers. The red segment depicts the large and increasing proportion of Baby Boomers as they age through the next twenty years, many of whom will remain in the work force past age 65. The green segment shows increases through 2030 as the Boomers age into the golden years of 75-84. The purple segment, though small, is important because it represents the most frail of the elderly, those who will require the most care from the medical establishment, in-home caregivers, and assisted living facilities.
The bar chart illustrates these significant highlights from 2010 to 2030:
Individuals age 60-64 will grow 22%. People age 65-74 will grow 65%. Those age 75-84 will grow 55%. Very frail elderly age 85+ will grow 29%.

In Alamance County, from 2010 to 2030, the 60+ age group is projected to
increase 47%, from nearly 31,000 to more than 44,500
individuals.
Baby Boomers will cause a spike in the age groups as they advance through
their retirement years.

Working Adults Pressure will increase on the agencies providing care for the aging population of Alamance County. One factor of this pressure is the relative decline in the number of working age people compared to the number of people age 65 and over. The chart below illustrates the numbers of working age and age 65+ individuals for the forty year range from 1990 to 2030. For the past twenty years, the ratio has remained constant at four working age persons for every one person age 65+. The 2010 Census shows the ratio remained the same at four working age persons for every one person age 65+. Demographers project a decline to three in 2020 and to three working age persons for every one person age 65+ by 2030. The labor pool will shrink as the volume of those needing skilled care increases.

Rural Population In January 2013, the Census Bureau will release characteristics for the urban and rural population at the census tract level. Until then, we can estimate the number of older adults living in rural areas based on geospatial analysis. The NC Rural Center classifies areas as rural if they have less than 250 people per square mile.8 Alamance County as a whole is designated as an urban county because of an overall population density of 347 people per square mile. We have identified rural census blocks within the county by selecting those with less than 250 total people per square mile.

Nutrition and Food Insecurity In a study released in 2011, AARP published national rankings for food insecurity. North Carolina ranked in the top ten states for the number of citizens age 60 and older who experience food insecurity, standing at number 9 as illustrated in the chart below. The food insecurity rate of 7.97 is the percent of people in that age group who experience a moderate degree of not having enough to eat; often they must prioritize payment for rent, medical care, prescriptions, or utility bills from the money they would normally use for food. They go without food in order to meet these other vital living expenses.

Long-Term Care Facilities
27
Skilled Nursing Facilities provide up to 24 hour nursing care in addition to assistance with personal care needs. The care provided may be long‐term care for chronic conditions or short‐term rehabilitative services for people who have been hospitalized. Nursing facilities must be licensed in accordance with North Carolina state law by the North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation. In addition, nursing facilities that wish to receive Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement must be certified in accordance with federal law. Nursing facilities that are Medicare and Medicaid certified receive annual licensure inspections by the Division of Health Service Regulation.
Adult Care Homes and Family Care Homes provide care for persons age 18 and older who do not need nursing home care but are no longer able to remain in their own homes because they need help in meeting daily needs such as meal preparation and housekeeping. These homes are for people who only need occasional and incidental medical services. Room and board, personal assistance, supervision of medications, and social activities are provided. The private cost rates vary from facility to facility and supplemental assistance may be available to cover the cost for those with limited incomes. Information on assistance may be obtained through the local Department of Social Services.
“Assisted living” is a term used to refer to Adult Care Homes (7 or more residents) and Family Care Homes (2‐6 residents).
