Why Age in Place?

Seniors Prefer to Stay At Home

According to an AARP study, 90 percent of people age 65 and older would prefer to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. Comfort, convenience, independence, safety, and security are all preferred reasons for wanting to stay in their familiar surroundings.

The U.S. Census Bureau also projects that by the year 2030, there will be nearly 72 million Americans over the age of 65. This means that the issues and challenges relating to aging in home will only increase in importance.

What can Force Seniors To Leave Their Home

As Seniors age, the need for assistance also increases. Falls, memory issues, accessibility challenges, or a medical condition that requires regular monitoring are often catalysts that can force Seniors to leave their home.

Less obvious but of equal concern , is the decline of social access and the potential for loneliness that can occur with reduced mobility, fewer daily interactions with others (due to retirement), or even the loss of a spouse.

Technology for Seniors is Trending

Innovations in home automation, healthcare, and fitness make our daily lives easier. For the elderly though, these same technologies can significantly enhance their overall quality of life.

While many of these technologies are used off the shelf, many don't address the challenges that are specific to a Senior's needs. With explosive growth projected by 2030 of those 65 and older. and with a greater awareness of these challenges, technology companies have already begun creating Senior specific products to fill this need.
