“…On one hand, entrepreneurial intention decrease with age, due to the increasing opportunity cost of time with age (Lévesque and Minniti 2006). On the other, entrepreneurial opportunities increase with age because of higher accumulated physical, social, and human capital (Lee and Vouchilas 2016). Coherently, entrepreneurial propensity is found to increase with age in some studies (Fairlie et al 2016) but declining in others (Parker 2009).…”

“…As noted in the summary, “By 2035, an astounding one out of three American households will be headed by someone aged 65 or older” (JCHSHU, 2014, p. 4). Yet, only 15% of baby boomers are willing to spend whatever it takes to make physical updates to stay in their home (P&GSEI, 2014), and less than 25% of this group has made any form of home modifications (Lee & Vouchilas, 2016). The primary reason that prematurely forces baby boomers into long‐term care environments is not declining health but an older person's unwillingness to adapt his or her environment with assistive devices and change his or her daily compensatory strategies (Curd, 2014).…”

Aging in place (AIP) in one's existing residence is a more affordable housing alternative than long‐term care and is desired by the majority of those aged 50–80. Considerable residential upgrades are required to accommodate the physical and mental effects of aging; however, U.S. housing is severely lacking in assistive devices required to respond to those needs. While research suggests that assistive device implementation can delay long‐term institutionalization, baby boomer stigma and lack of knowledge may have an impact on why so few AIP upgrades have occurred. Using design thinking strategies, we explored baby boomer knowledge and stigma toward the term AIP and residential assistive devices. A secondary purpose was to expose baby boomers to an AIP checklist to determine if the checklist would influence participant knowledge and stigma. Fifteen baby boomers (n = 15) participated in the study, and less than half expressed (n = 7) familiarity with the term AIP. Participants used alternate phrases such as “avoiding the nursing home”; or “doing things to stay independent.” Most participants did not associate stigma toward the term AIP; yet, their knowledge of AIP devices was minimal until exposed to the AIP checklist. After exposure to the checklist, participants were significantly more familiar with the term AIP and significantly more likely to think standard products could be considered as AIP residential assistive devices. In this study, we also used participant created prototypes to understand the means by which baby boomers would like to gain knowledge on AIP upgrades.

“…The main findings of the articles reviewed for aging-in-place are summarized in Table 1. Recently, Lee and Vouchilas (2016) analyzed the characteristics of baby boomers (ages 50-64) and older individuals (age 65+) who proactively modified their homes to prepare for aging-in-place and who decided to relocate rather than modify their homes. Overall, the characteristics of the baby boomers who conducted modifications were not different from the older individuals.…”

As the size of the older US population continues to rise, the need to understand their housing needs and wants is increasing. The purpose of this article was to review recent research on housing for older adults. We conducted an analysis of three peer‐reviewed journal articles published between 2001 and 2018 using a consumer housing perspective. Findings suggested four areas of housing research have been studied as follows: housing behavior (e.g., aging‐in‐place); perception (e.g., housing satisfaction); policy (e.g., housing affordability and inadequacy); and design features. Implications for future housing research include the assessment of current housing stock and how it can be transformed using technology, home modifications, and local policy to meet growing demands.
