Care Notes
Providing a dialogue for options for aging in place

Preferences and Living Situations
- 93% of U.S. adults aged 65 and older currently live in their own home or apartment.
- 60% of older adults prefer to remain at home and receive care there if they can no longer live completely independently.
- Only 18% prefer moving to an assisted living facility, and just 1% prefer a nursing home.
