AARP survey: older adults want to age in place

"Data shows that 77 percent of adults 50 and older want to remain in their homes for the long term — a number that has been consistent for more than a decade.

Many older adults are homeowners and want to stay in their residences and communities as they age; indeed, only 29 percent said they plan to relocate to another community. Respondents said they value communities that provide access to clean water, healthy foods, quality health care and safe outdoor spaces.

The survey revealed that 1 in 5 Americans is a family caregiver and 52 percent of all adults live in a multi-generational household.

Among those polled, 40 percent said they care for someone living in their home and 38 percent look after someone living on their own. Of those, nearly half worried about the ability of the person they care for to continue living independently.

This group also places a high importance on finding capable home-repair contractors for low-income and older adults: 77 percent said they value having affordable, trustworthy workers who can do home modifications."
