Aging in Place in Chicago: Why Seniors Want It Most.
Why Aging in Place Is the Number One Goal for Chicago Seniors and How Home Care Makes It Possible
A September 2025 survey revealed that 64% of U.S. seniors rank “aging in place” as their top priority. For older adults in Chicago, this means staying in the comfort of their homes rather than moving to long-term facilities.
The Barriers in Chicago
Chicago seniors face unique challenges:
Housing stock: Older homes may not be senior-friendly
Weather: Harsh winters increase fall risks and isolation
Healthcare access: Local clinics are stretched, and transportation can be difficult
How Home Care Supports Aging in Place
Home care services bridge these gaps by providing:
Personal care assistance for bathing, dressing, and meals
Companionship to reduce loneliness
Fall prevention assessments to make homes safer
At Percipience Home Care, our free home care assessments help families identify risks and create tailored support plans so seniors can live independently longer.
