As the global population continues to age, the concept of "aging in place" has gained prominence as a preferred lifestyle choice among older adults. Aging in place refers to the desire and ability of older individuals to remain in their own homes, rather than moving to a care facility, as they grow older. This preference is driven by the desire for independence, familiarity, and a sense of community. However, the consequences of aging in place in the residential environment are multi-faceted, impacting not only the older adults themselves but also their families, communities, and healthcare systems. In this article, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of the consequences of aging in place within the residential environment, informed by a literature review and a bibliometric analysis. By examining existing research and analyzing the trends and patterns in this field, we aim to provide a holistic understanding of the implications and challenges associated with aging in place, as well as identify potential avenues for further research and policy development.
