The bigger picture

Why this matters

The U.S. population age 65 and older reached about 61.2 million in 2024, and roughly 75% of adults 50 and older say they want to stay in their own home as long as possible. The National Institute on Aging points to cleanliness, clutter, and room-by-room home hazards as some of the first signs an older adult may need help at home.

Noticing that your parent's home needs help is not overreacting. It is paying attention. And you do not have to solve it alone.
