Where Should I Live?: A Call-In Special
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026
By 2030, every Baby Boomer will be 65 or older. Many of these older adults will live alone and on limited incomes, and many will have mobility and other health challenges. This so-called “silver tsunami” is here to stay, and the math is ominous. The nation already has a housing shortage—and a senior-care shortage. On the plus side, many of these older folks will be healthier and more active, engaged, and tech-savvy than their peers in prior generations. But since their housing needs and preferences will also differ from those of their predecessors, new questions and challenges will arise. On Century Lives: The Home Stretch, we explore signs of hope and inspiration in communities where housing innovations for older adults are already afoot. We open our final episode of the season to housing questions from our listeners. How do I adjust to living in my adult child’s home? What are the benefits of living in a senior housing community on a college campus? Do I stay near my friends, or move to where relatives can help with my care? Fielding questions for the hour are host Ken Stern and renowned “place planning” expert Ryan Frederick.
