OUR MISSION
Delaware Health and Social Services
The size of the age 60+ population began to spike dramatically around 2005 and will continue to expand steadily for the next 20 years. The age 75+ population will climb noticeably by the year 2015. The “oldest old” population, age 85+, most in need of critical care services, will nearly double between 2005 and 2020, then double again by 2040. By 2030, Delaware is projected to have the 9th highest proportion of persons aged 65+ among all states.
