Valentine’s Day is all about love, connection, and letting the people in our lives know they matter. This year, Senior Helpers is inviting our community to help us spread a little extra love to seniors who may be feeling lonely or isolated through our “Dear Senior” Valentine’s Day Card Drive.

According to AARP’s 2024 Home and Community Preferences Survey, about 75% of Americans aged 50 and older want to stay in their homes as they age. In 2025, the average cost of full-time in-home care hovers around $61,776 per year (about $5,148/month). The average cost of assisted living runs between $6,077 and $6,500 per month, depending on the source. This means in many cases, in-home care remains the more cost-effective choice, plus seniors benefit from staying in comfortable, familiar surroundings. However, most homes were not originally designed with the needs of older adults in mind. In this blog, we’ll explore home improvements and modifications to make aging in place safer, more accessible, and more comfortable for seniors.
