Michael Dowling emphasizes the need to rethink healthcare for seniors by focusing on the Four Ms: mentation, medication management, mobility, and understanding what matters most.
With the US population over 65 increasing to 62 million, Dowling discusses the historical neglect of aging issues in healthcare and the urgent need for comprehensive care strategies.
Dowling states that while healthcare has advanced significantly, it is crucial to not just extend life, but also ensure that the extended years are lived well.
He believes family caregivers are vital in extending healthcare into homes, as they provide comfort and familiarity that can greatly enhance the quality of care.
