While there’s growing focus on seniors and the care they need, far less attention is being paid to the family members who provide that care. According to AARP, in 2010, there were more than seven potential family caregivers for every person over 80; by 2030, that ratio will drop to 4:1, and by 2050, it will be less than 3:1.

Over the next several months and years, LinkUs will strengthen existing bus service, implement Bus Rapid Transit, and add bike paths, lanes, and sidewalks throughout our community.
