The Homes We Love Were Never Built for How We Live Now Many of the homes seniors live in today were built in the 1960s, 70s, or 80s. They were designed for a very different time, a different family structure, and a very different understanding of aging. Back then: Families were smaller People didn’t live as long Multigenerational living was rare Accessibility was an afterthought Design prioritized appearance over safety Those homes weren’t badly built — they’re simply obsolet
