Aging at home in Laredo

Laredo is a border city of roughly 258,000 on the north bank of the Rio Grande, with a median age near 31 and about one resident in ten aged 65 or older. Its Spanish colonial roots go back to 1755, and the historic downtown around San Agustin still shapes the older neighborhoods. Newer subdivisions have spread north along Interstate 35 and Loop 20. In a city this family-centered, many seniors grow older at home with relatives close by, and private-pay caregivers often cover daytime hours when family members are at work.
