Most Older Adults Want to Age at Home (AARP 2024 Home & Community Preferences Survey)
A strong majority of seniors want to stay put. AARP’s 2024 national survey found that 75% of adults age 50 and older want to remain in their current home as they age, and 73% want to stay in their community for as long as possible. Professional in-home care is what makes that possible safely.

As the population ages, reliance on family caregivers will remain a critical issue.
