ARCO has partnered with boomer + beyond on new consumer research exploring how older homeowners think about later living.
The report, Confidence to move, was developed from research conducted for ARCO’s What Next 2026 conference. It looks at the decision to move through the lenses of independence, certainty, care, tenure, rental and consumer protection.
The strongest theme running through the work is confidence.
Older homeowners are often deeply settled where they are. Many are not actively looking for change. Yet they are also aware that later life can bring new questions around health, mobility, maintenance, support, family responsibility and long-term security.
For Integrated Retirement Communities, the opportunity is to make the decision feel clearer, safer and more positive before a moment of crisis.
