Recent surveys show that many Americans prefer to age in place in their current homes during retirement. However, NextAvenue's analysis suggests that there could be unforeseen consequences to this concept. The columnists Edd and Cynthia Staton caution that declining health and mobility issues may make aging in place less feasible, with safety concerns such as falls being a significant risk in homes not designed for aging. Additionally, social isolation and neighborhood changes over time can impact the well-being of older adults who choose to remain in their homes. Renovations, including those financed through options like reverse mortgages, are becoming more common to address these challenges.
