Port Saint Lucie, FL (PRWEB) February 27, 2017 -- Aging in place reflects the desire or ability of older adults to successfully age and remain in their home of choice, whether it is a private home, condo, apartment, or less likely, a group setting. This business opportunity is further underpinned by the very recent growth of interest in the mature market – like the $100 million invested in CC-ABHI in Canada, the $26 million Ziegler-Linkage Fund and $17 million through Generator Ventures – not to mention the staggering 2015-2016 $200 million of venture capital investment in tech-enabled home care firms. Why such excitement? Three factors are driving a wave of interest in caregiving, home care and aging in place. This 2017 Technology Market Overview helps new entrants and existing players refine or form their strategies.
