Planning for t he Fut ure
Care and supports for older seniors is a growing concern as as
the population ages. By 2031 the number of people ages 85and over is projected to be 85% larger than in 2001. Thisrepresents an additional 13,400 men and 17,500 women.
The large rise in the senior population, the predominance of
women and the significant increase in the number of olderseniors will require community based programs and a range ofhousing options if people are to Age in Placeand maintainoptimal levels of independence.

Living arrangement and family circumstances contributedirectly to quality of life outcomes for seniors. Thoseliving with a spouse or other family members are morelikely to have greater economic security, social supportand choice in housing.
As people age, they tend to move from family to non-family
situations. This transition can be accompanied by a lossof income, social isolation and a growing need for a varietyof supports to help them to maintain their independence.

Ethno-racial origin plays an important role in defining identityand social networks. It also influences family patterns, livingarrangements, housing preferences and the type of services
and supports people need and expect.
Immigrants face a variety of challenges in getting settled andadapting to Toronto life. For seniors the process may becompounded by greater difficulty learning English and a lack of
familiarity with local culture and customs. While many newarrivals have the support of families, community agencies andethno-specific networks, some are vulnerable to isolation,economic exploitation and other abuse.

Incom e Sec ur i t y More than any other factor, income security affects the ability of
seniors to enjoy independent lifestyles and have optimal choicesfor housing and personal care.
Seniors earn the majority of their income from investments,pensions and government transfers, including CPP, OAS and GIS.
In 2001, for example, 42% of seniors income came fromgovernment transfers, 42% from pensions and investments.
21% of persons ages 65-74 and 5% of those ages 75 and older wereemployed in 2005. Among employed seniors, more than workedfull-time and men outnumbered women by 50%.
Income from government transfers and pensions varies little from
year to year, often just keeping pace with the rate of inflation.

Housing Tenure Seniors are more likely than other age groups to own their
dwellings. In 2006, 144,270 senior households were owneroccupied, representing 68% of all senior households.
Among senior owned households, two-thirds were occupied byfamilies.
In 2006, fifty-five percent of senior-owned households were in
detached houses, 15% in semi-detached or row houses and30% in apartments.
As seniors experience changes in their family status,
health or economic circumstances, they are likely to move from
houses to apartments. This often means moving into rentalunits. For seniors with greater financial resources, however,owning a condominium may be the preferred option.
