Plot Twist: Navigating the Senior Living Crisis

The senior living crisis refers to the growing challenges in providing adequate, affordable, and high-quality care for the increasing population of elderly individuals. This crisis is driven by factors such as an aging population, insufficient facilities, rising costs, workforce shortages, and funding and policy issues. In Sheboygan County, approximately 19.8% of the population is aged 65 and older, with projections suggesting that this will rise to 23.3% in the next five years. This growth underscores the need for planning and enhancing services to accommodate the rising number of seniors. Sheboygan Senior Community (SSC) addresses the senior living crisis by ensuring seniors receive support at every stage of aging, from assisted living to skilled nursing. With a 94% occupancy rate and over 60% of residents under Medicaid, SSC has earned the community’s trust for high-quality care. Its committed leadership team and fully staffed departments, without reliance on outside agencies, further demonstrate SSC’s dedication to exceptional care. SSC’s excellence, community engagement, and innovative care solutions make it a cornerstone of support for Sheboygan County’s elderly population.
