Older people are not interested in moving from their current homes. In fact, they change their addresses less frequently than at any other time in their lives and the reasons they stay put is because there is so much at stake.

During the pandemic, older people could consult with their doctors and clinics in the comfort of their homes. Was this just a blip or is it a service that will be continued?

Unsurprisingly, older people often disagree about what makes an ideal neighborhood when deciding where to live. Here are things that many consider when making their decision.

There are many different perspectives on where is the best place to live as you age.

Despite responsible living and careful planning, older people may find themselves in situations that they don't like. But some are able to cope better than others. Here's why.

Why do older people not want to move when it seems clearly to us that they need support?

With the onset of the pandemic, older persons found themselves in the crosshairs of one of the most virulent natural disasters of this past century.
