SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Getting old doesn't mean it's time to start collecting retirement community brochures. Senior citizens today tend to be more active than their parents were at the same age, continuing to live at home and pursuing interests and hobbies and San Luis Obispo-based Elder Placement Professionals has recently released a report summarizing the pros and cons of aging in place.
Many seniors still have strong roots in their neighborhoods and communities, participating in activities with friends and family, taking part in hobbies, gardening, outdoor activities and even continuing to work.
Data compiled from the U.S. Census Bureau reports that adults 55 and over made up 19.5% of the labor force in 2020 and indications are that will grow to 23.6% by 2030. While financial concerns play a part in continuing to work, seniors in the workforce also have the energy, mental sharpness and interest to remain competitive at their chosen jobs and professions.
AARP reports "87 percent of adults age 65+ want to stay in their current home and community as they age." Aging in place is a growing trend as more and more seniors are able to remain at home, but as popular as it is becoming, there can be some down sides as well.
