When writing about aging populations, marketers should keep in mind that language leaves a lasting impact. As language around aging shifts, home care agencies should be aware of how they address and discuss issues related to older adults.
When these ideas about aging and older people are accepted and normalized on our screens, it becomes harder to identify the harmful ways that aging is discussed, even within the home care industry. As a home care marketing agency, it’s important to commit to improving how we write about and portray older adults to ensure that representation is respectful and fair.
