The population of adults over the age of 60 has grown significantly in Illinois since 2000, increasing from 1.9 million to 2.8 million, making up 22 percent of the total population of Illinois.  The population of adults over 60 is expected to increase even further to around 3.6 million by 2030, making up 25 percent of the state’s population.

The reason the senior population is expected to increase significantly is because more of the Baby Boomer generation is reaching retirement age.  It will not be long until 1 in 4 people living in Illinois will be 60 years old or older.  With so many people entering their golden years in the Chicago area, there will be a bigger demand for care services that cater to seniors, including home care.  The majority of seniors prefer to age in place when they reach retirement which makes home care for seniors a very popular choice for those who need personal care and assistance.
