The number of aging U.S. adults living alone is steadily rising, with nearly 16 million people aged 65 and older in the U.S. living solo in 2022. This threefold increase from the 1960s suggests a substantial societal shift that experts predict will continue, especially as the Baby Boomer generation ages.<\/p>

One significant factor contributing to the rise in solo seniors is the unexpected trend of “gray divorce” \u2013 divorces occurring among adults over 50. Research has uncovered that divorce rates in this age group doubled from 1990 to 2010, leading to what’s now known as the “gray divorce revolution.”\u00a0<\/p>

Experts believe there are a variety of factors that could be contributing to decisions among seniors to get a divorce. These include differing views on topics such as politics \u2014 along with personal growth and shifting priorities.<\/p>

The Critical Role of Medical Alert Devices<\/h2>

Although there may be many positives for seniors who have chosen to live on their own, it’s essential to acknowledge the real presence of health and safety risks. Issues like falls and unexpected health events can pose serious dangers if no one else is around to help. Solo living could potentially delay timely assistance during emergencies, which could seriously impact outcomes. <\/p>
