A startling proportion of older people report that they’ve experienced discrimination: 63 percent, in a study recently published in Research on Aging. The most commonly cited cause? “Thirty percent report being mistreated because of their age,” said the lead author Ye Luo, a Clemson University sociologist. Perceived discrimination because of gender, race or ancestry, disabilities or appearance followed in smaller proportion" http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/12/age-discrimination-takes-its-toll/ Categories, related: Alzheimers Disease, Chronic Illnesses, Gender Discrimination, Geriatric Associations, Geriatrics Humor, Geriatrics Nurses, Geriatrics Resources, Hospice, End of Life Care, Long Term Care (LTC), Vulnerable Adults ****************************************************** Carol J.

With this in mind, you need to determine which legal form you are going to take for your new registry.
