Overview: “Of all the aging statistics that get tossed around these days, the one that has me quaking is that the population of people aged 65 and older will rise by 36 percent between 2010 (that’s next year, folks) and 2020. …Another nearly ironclad number is that people overwhelmingly prefer to stay in their own homes as they get older. The surveys show this preference at nearly 90 percent and it tends not to change much over time.”
