Hoosiers Live at the Mercy of Nursing Homes

mer’s disease and about five in 10 have Alzheimer’s or some form of dementia by age 85. Presently one in eight Americans is 65 and older. This has been projected to rise to one in five Americans will be 65 and older by 2030.

Around 35,000 Hoosiers are estimated to be living with a developmental disability such as mental retardation or autism and over 301,000 non institutionalized Hoosiers have a diagnosed disability of some kind, including 209,000 with a physical disability and 70,700 with a mental disability. The lack of state guardianship programs has translated into limited services for wards (those needing guardians) and inadequate staffing to meet ward needs.'

Regarding Indiana, researchers wrote: 'The (state-funded) program is neither involved in educating the public about guardianship in general nor about public guardianship specifically. Information about the program was ‘buried’ in the state’s governmental Web site.'
