Most adults want to grow old in the home they live in now and not in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Common additions are toilet safety frames, which allow the user to lower themselves onto the seat, and toilet seat risers that reduce the distance the user needs to bend down. A 2016 HomeAdvisor study found 61 percent of people over the age of 55 plan to stay in their homes indefinitely. The average cost for an adult care facility is $16,000 per year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
