According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 40.3 million U.S. residents 65 years and older in the 2010 Census and more than 54 million on July 1, 2019.  In Illinois, the elderly population grew to 1,925,649. The number of elderly in Illinois now ranks sixth among the states behind California, New York, Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania.  Many seniors in the latter years need  additional support and resources.
 
Therefore, there are many different types of eldercare available to families in the United States and they are broken down into two major categories:  1) family-provided care and professionally provided care. There are approximately two types of family-provided care but multiple variations of the theme that are possible. There are six types of professionally-provided care including: in-home licensed or unlicensed care, adult day programs, independent living facilities, assisted living facilities, continuum of care facilities, and dementia facilities. Each care arrangement offers pros and cons and may be more or less appropriate depending on elders' needs and desires and the needs and constraints of the family.
 
With the amalgamation of resources for the elderly, Grander realizes that it is difficult  for seniors and their families to successfully navigate and comprehend the many different services that are offered to them. Because of this challenge, many seniors needing daily assistance tend to miss out on support services that are designed to assist them with their daily living. In addition, society lacks organizations that provide services that are designed to assist the elderly with bridging the gap amongst a variety of senior services and other resources. This is why Grander was founded with the belief that we can provide outstanding assistance with helping them put the pieces of this puzzle together.  Most of all, we believe that the former years should be purposeful, stress-free, dynamic and fun.
