Gary, IN is a city of 67,281 people located just east of Chicago in northwest Indiana.  The city has a relatively large population of senior citizens that make up 19% of its total population and 18% of Gary residents are between the ages of 50 and 65.  The senior population is projected to increase in the coming years as this segment of the population approaches the age of 65.

Gary has a median age of 38 which is the average median age of cities in the Chicago area and the state of Indiana.  However, a large portion of the population is set to reach the age of 65 in the next 10-15 years and these residents, along with those who are already over 65, will need some level of care and assistance.  The current generation of seniors is increasingly choosing to live and receive care at home, making senior home care more popular than receiving care at an assisted living facility or nursing home.  The demand for home care will only increase in Gary, making it a great place to start a home health care franchise.
