Do you plan to remain in your current home as you age?
Home Instead has launched a new partnership with television personalities Drew and Jonathan Scott to offer home design and care planning resources. The collaboration aims to assist the growing number of older adults who wish to remain in their own homes as they age.
Why it matters
With over 11,000 Americans turning 65 every day, families are increasingly looking for ways to adapt their living spaces and care plans. This partnership addresses the reality that more than 90% of adults aged 55 to 75 prefer to age in place rather than move to residential facilities.
The initiative draws on Home Instead's 30 years of operational experience, which currently includes 1,200 locations across 7 countries. While the partnership relies on this established footprint to deliver 60 million hours of annual care, the specific impact of the new design resources on health outcomes remains unmeasured.

Health Landscape
This collaboration aligns with the broader demographic shift toward aging in place, a priority for over 90% of the 55 to 75 age bracket. It signals a shift in the care landscape toward integrating home design as a proactive component of long-term health maintenance.
If you or a family member are planning for future care needs, consider reviewing your current living space for potential accessibility upgrades. These resources may help you initiate conversations with your doctor or occupational therapist about what modifications can best support your long-term independence.
The takeaway
Aging in place requires both medical preparation and thoughtful adjustments to your physical environment. Start by identifying the most common safety risks in your home, such as lighting, flooring, and entryways, and discuss necessary modifications with a healthcare professional.
