Approximately 75% of seniors prefer to remain in their homes as they age, yet they feel pressure to move due to insufficient living conditions. There's ongoing discussion regarding Medicare's potential expansion to cover home renovations that aid seniors in safely aging in place. Medicare, a federal program for those aged 65 and over, might include long-term care services amid debates on funding these essential services. Opinions vary on what Medicare should cover, highlighting the tension between fiscal responsibility and providing necessary support for the elderly.
