Top Senior Living Design Trends, Retirement Planning 10-28-25
We discussed key trends in senior living, including building in last frontier markets, combating obsolescence, incorporating biophilia and sustainability, and local inspiration in this episode of News for the Ages by Rethinking Aging Club podcast. Senior Living faces a shortage of new units, with occupancy expected to reach 90% by 2026. We also covered retirement concerns, highlighting that only 37% of Americans expect to retire within a realistic timeframe. Gen Xers were advised to build emergency funds, tackle debt, and consider long-term care insurance. The importance of home ownership and aggressive investment strategies was emphasized, along with the potential benefits of Roth IRAs and capital gains tax strategies. Elizabeth shared the 10 room residential care home she is working on. Linda recommended Maddy Dychtwald's Ageless Aging: A Woman's Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan book.
