Susan Curtis, a 74-year-old disabled pensioner, has been evicted from her home of 13 years and now struggles with inadequate living conditions in a hotel.
Recent statistics show a worrying rise in homelessness among older adults, with a staggering 11.4% increase this past year, reaching an unprecedented level of nearly 14,000 homeless individuals aged 65 and older.
Living in a hotel room, Curtis faces challenges due to her mobility issues, lacking proper facilities for personal hygiene, having to resort to using a small sink instead of a proper shower.
The current landscape of homelessness for seniors is alarming, as more older individuals are homeless now than at any point since 1998, highlighting a growing crisis in elder accommodation.
