Most Seniors Prefer to Stay Home β€” Their Home Needs to Keep Up

The majority of seniors aged 65+ strongly prefer to remain in their current home rather than move to senior housing or assisted living. Arizona's Department of Economic Security State Plan on Aging explicitly prioritizes supporting seniors aging in place as a statewide policy objective.

Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona operates an "Aging in Place" program specifically for homeowners 65+ β€” confirming institutional recognition of the gap in home repair access for this demographic in the Phoenix metro.

Phoenix housing context: The metro's median home value reached $480,000 in 2024 β€” and with the mortgage lock-in effect keeping homeowners with 3–4% rates from selling into a 7%+ market, the financial case for investing in home modifications rather than moving has never been stronger.

Arizona Homes Have Unique Aging-in-Place Challenges

Phoenix's climate, construction style, and housing market create specific challenges for seniors that national services don't understand. Our handymen do.

🌑️

Extreme Heat

Summer temperatures above 110Β°F make outdoor access and garage areas dangerous for seniors with limited mobility. We address entry, exit, and outdoor safety surfaces.

🧱

Stucco & Hard Surfaces

Phoenix homes are overwhelmingly stucco over concrete slab. Falls on these surfaces are severe. Non-slip treatments and fall-risk reduction in these areas is a priority.

Hard Water & Fixtures

Colorado River hard water degrades faucet aerators and fixture hardware. Stiff or broken handles create grip challenges for seniors with arthritis.
