Shockingly, alcoholism is increasingly prevalent in the the senior community. Nearly 50 percent of nursing home residents have alcohol-related problems and older adults are hospitalized as often for alcoholic-related problems as for heart attacks. These shocking statistics show that alcoholism is a very serious issue that your senior might deal with. Make sure to continually communicate with your senior, especially if they've had drinking problems in the past. A clear line of communication will allow you to help your loved one deal with any alcohol-related issues they might have.
