Aging and Living Arrangements
By 2030, the Baby Boomers will all be 65 years old or older, contributing to the growing aging population both in Kentucky and the nation as a whole. Between 2017-2022, an estimated 540,893 (+/- 2,877) households in Kentucky had one or more persons ages 65 and over (2022 American Community Survey 5-year estimate). While some older adults require nursing home care and other long-term care services, today’s older adults are healthier overall and will live independently for longer. Today, the majority of older adults in Kentucky live at home either on their own or with family members including spouses, adult children, and extended family.
