In the U.S., the cost of professional assistance and nursing facilities for the elderly is increasingly prohibitive. More than 80% of Americans over 65 needing care must rely on support from family and friends. Lucy Schiller's new book "Aging Out" draws on the author's personal experience caring for her grandmother during the Covid-19 pandemic. Schiller speaks about the financial reality of eldercare today.
