OLDER AMERICANS ARE DRIVING
THE NEED FOR HOUSING TO AGE IN PLACE
The concepts of aging in place and universal design — that is flexible, durable design that is comfortable and accessible to all, including people with disabilities — are not some fancy flavor-of-the-month.
They are essential needs backed by countless demographic
studies by respected institutions.
By 2030, all baby boomers will be older than age 65 — meaning one in five U.S. residents will be retirement age.
U.S. Census numbers show that by 2034, there will be 77 million people over 65,
compared to 76.5 million under 18 — a first in history that there are more
elderly than youth.
