“Planning to Age in Place? Find a Contractor Now,” by Paula Span, New York Times

“Older people have the highest rate of homeownership in the country — about 80 percent, according to a 2016 report by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard. The great majority live in single-family homes, most of them poorly suited for the disabilities common in later life.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):
How ironic that seniors have so much home equity that could help them age in place, but government policy, in the form of huge exemptions for home equity, divert them to nursing homes under-funded by Medicaid.
