According to a 2016 Freddie Mac survey of boomers, the majority of those 55 and older plan to stay in their homes during retirement. Among those who plan to move, one in five say they will sell their home and buy a new one, while one in 10 say they will sell their home and rent when they move. 

Reasons seniors want to stay in their own home as originally seen on HealthyWomen.org are: 

• They love their home. It's where their children grew up and where their family meets for holidays. Home is where the heart is.


• They love being near the ones they love, who are their support network and ground them.


• They love their community. Church, book club, bingo nights, a favorite restaurant down the street … community is what makes a neighborhood special.


• They want to stay independent. Aging in place means living the way they want to. They create their own rules.


• They want to customize their care. In their home, they're in charge. They get to choose what type of care they want.
