The geriatric care services market is expected to witness considerable growth by 2027 driven by the expanding geriatric population in need of care services and rising incidences of infectious diseases. After the COVID-19 outbreak, leading health organizations like Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasized how much more older adults were prone to hospitalization or death if infected with the novel coronavirus.
