Abstract
The Indian government reports projected the population increase of senior citizens from 13% in 2011 to 23% in 2036. In such a population expansion, it is a dire need to provide them with dignified, secure, happy, and affordable living. Further, physically, emotionally, and economically, senior citizens have a high dependency on their family members and friends. The primary data has been collected, constituting a sample size of 200 elderly people, who are above 60 years and belong to middle and high-income groups, residing in Delhi NCR. The key requirement that emerged from the study for the growing older population is the locational advantage of community living with full-fledged legal ownership of home along with affordability criteria.
