Social Return on Investment of Interventions Supporting Aging in Place: A Systematic Review

Loneliness and social isolation are common, and older adults prefer to age in place. Programs that provide social support are essential, yet their value remains uncertain, as conventional cost-effectiveness frameworks may not capture all benefits. Social return on investment (SROI) provides a broader perspective. This study aimed to synthesize existing SROI studies to better understand the value of initiatives supporting aging in place.
