The Facts on Aging
The Financial Case for Aging in Place
Institutional Care Costs: As of 2026, the national median cost for a private nursing home room is approximately $129,575per year.
Proactive Savings: A comprehensive home safety assessment is a modest, one-time investment that can help avoid the far greater costs of long-term care or injury-related hospitalizations.
The True Cost of Falls
Prevalence: One in four Americans aged 65+ falls every year.
Economic Toll: Falls among older adults result in billions of dollars in medical spending annually. In 2019 alone, there were approximately 3 million emergency department visits and 1 million hospitalizations related to falls for this age group.
Risk Escalation: A single fall doubles the likelihood that an individual will fall again, making early hazard removal essential for preserving long-term independence.
Quality of Life & Independence
Preference for Home: Nearly 90% of older Americans express a strong preference for remaining in their own homes as they age.
Health Benefits: Staying in a familiar environment, maintaining community connections, and retaining control over daily life are linked to better overall health outcomes and higher quality of life.
Independence Retention: Research indicates that individuals who receive even modest support with daily tasks through environmental modifications and adaptation remain independent for longer periods compared to those who do not.
