Colorado is witnessing a demographic transformation, with projections indicating that more than a quarter of its population will be over 60 by 2050. Between 2013 and 2023, the senior demographic grew by 22.4%. This trend mirrors national patterns, leading to concerns about providing adequate services for older residents, particularly in smaller communities. State officials are developing strategies, including aiding aging in place, to improve senior living conditions while balancing residents' emotional ties to their homes.
"Aging in place could be a cost-effective solution for the state. We think it's probably pretty significant in terms of return on investment."
"Despite the ability for officials to plan for potential solutions, personal complexities for residents often make the process of aging in place difficult to navigate."
