Empowering Caregivers With Technology

Let's Learn Together

Every episode explores a different contemporary challenge in senior at-home care. We will demonstrate how the latest home technologies can help seniors live independently while delaying the need for costly assistive services or communities.

Beyond our weekly episodes, we will feature special topics with guest experts specializing in gerontology, elder care technology, caregiving support, digital scam defense, and financial planning.

Our conversations will share insights on new technologies and public policies that impact seniors' well-being, finances, safety, and quality of life.

Latchkey Seniors is a dedicated resource for Generation X and Millennial caregivers. Learn how to leverage modern technologies & digital tools to safely and effectively manage the complex task of caring for the seniors in your life.

Seniors we care for, including parents, extended family, neighbors, or friends, are Boomers (fiercely independent) and the Silent Generation (frugal and discreet) who are facing challenges of isolation, consistent healthcare, limited support systems, and living in an increasingly digital world.

Each week on our podcast, we'll share fresh approaches and technologies that address these challenges while enhancing safety, reducing stress, and increasing enjoyment for both caregivers and seniors throughout these years.

Our Mission

Latchkey Seniors shares practical solutions using modern home technologies and digital tools. These solutions are designed to increase senior independence while enabling adult children, family, neighbors, and friends to have Peace of Mind.

THE DATA

Seniors

The U.S. population aged 65 and older is expanding significantly. In 2024, this group was estimated at 61.2 million—about 18% of the total population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This steady rise is primarily driven by the aging Baby Boomer generation, and projections indicate substantial future growth, with the population of adults 65 and older expected to reach 82 million by 2050.

The number of family caregivers for older adults in the U.S. increased from 18.2 million in 2011 to 24.1 million in 2022, a rise of 32%. Caregivers often assist with daily activities, and a significant portion, over 31%, provide care for 20 or more hours per week. Studies show that caregiving can lead to increased stress and has been linked to negative health indicators, particularly for those caring for individuals with dementia.

Notably, 29% of caregivers belong to the "sandwich generation" (caregivers in their 30s to 60s), a significant group, often experiencing higher levels of financial and emotional strain because they are caring for both children and aging parents. There are an estimated 53 million unpaid family caregivers, and 73% of them are working, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
