Housing characteristics of older adults with cognitive impairment
There are 5.5 million older adults living in the community with cognitive impairment (CI). Of this population, 26% live alone. Older adults living alone with CI are primarily female, older, with lower incomes. Nearly half of older adults living alone with CI are renters. Home accessibility modifications were very common in this population.
