"Almost all of the federal
dollar* being spent on the elderly
are IOUs the elderly are calling
back in," and Dr. Robert Atchley,
director of the Scripps
Foundation and professor at
Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.
He sees Social Security and
Medicare as their due. "If we
A i:-.- - - ?
uun i nve up to tnis agreement,
we have lost our integrity as a nation,"
he told an applauding au.
dience of professionals and
volunteers who work with elderly.
Dr. Atchley was the keynote
speaker at Life Enrichment for
the
Elwtsr- <2oftr ~ Family Living
Seminar held at North Carolina
State University recently.
Dr. Atchley is very disturbed
by recent cuts in benefits for the
elderly. "Eighty percent of all inhome
services for the elderly are
already provided by the family 50
percent by the spouse and the
other 30 percent by other family
members." Another 15 percent is
given by paid support people,
such as nursing aides and
housekeepers.
Only two percent comes from
government-supported social
agencies. "This is the big effort
the government is making that
they want the family to do," Dr.
Atchley said. *
Families cannot and should not
provide all of the necessary care,
Dr. Atchley believes. "There is apoint
beyond which families
should not provide care or it will
destroy the family," he said.
Institutionalization is not all
bad either. Research has shown
that the health of most elderly actually
improves when they are
moved into an institution if that
move is really needed.
For the healthy majority of the
elderly, "intimacy at a distance"

d support
is the goal. They want to live on
their own, to visit tf?e4amily, but
not for too long, and to have time
with the grandchildren, but not
too much time, Dr. Atchley said.
"We need the family plus the
gvernment, rather than the family
versus the government," to
meet the needs of the elderly appropriately,
Dr. Atchley said. He
cited the need to reestablish the
commitment made in the ?0s and
70s.
In 1960, 60 percent of the
elderly lived in or close to poverty
T&y 1980, thaLhaddropped to
30 percent. Since 1980, there have
been drastic program cuts, and
there is quite a spread between
the haves and have nots," Dr.
Atchley said.
"We were told sacrifies would
be spread across the board, but
they fell hardest on the poor and
middle class elderly. Two percent
of tax cut benefits went to elderly
with incomes of $5,000 or less."
Fifty percent went to elderly with
high incomes. As for program
cuts, "the single largest one was
in Social Security. Medicare is the
same story. I am against making
the people least able to pay, pay
for economic recovery."
Dr. Atchley called for government
policies which would provide
appropriate health care and
income for America's elderly.
"Right now we are Agoing
backwards, and this disturbs me
very much," said the gerontologist.
