Aging in Place

The Aging in Place Consortium

Ten thousand people turn 65 each day in the United States, part of a fundamental demographic shift inside of the United States.  By 2030, people over the age of 65 will outnumber those under 18 for the first time in history. 

 Where and how this aging population will live will be a critical public and family issue for decades to come.  Influenced no doubt by the lessons of the pandemic, the vast majority of Americans, almost 90%, would want to receive any aging assistance in their own homes or in the homes of loved ones.  However, a far lower number (59%) view themselves as financially prepared to age in place. 

The Aging in Place Consortium is comprised of companies, research institutions and nonprofit organizations committed to helping more Americans be able to age in place.  Areas of research for the Consortium will include such topics as how best to help Americans afford longer retirements and aging in place, advances in transformational healthcare technologies, the role of multigenerational living and the adaptability of homes and cities for aging in place.   

Research will be shared at the Century Summit, December 7-9 2021, held in collaboration with the Stanford Center on Longevity.
