Industry resources

The active-aging industry provides facilities and programs that are part of a prevention/wellness model focused on quality of life for people who are 50 years and older. The industry unites a broad spectrum of organizations and individuals: retirement communities and seniors centers, age-targeted housing and medical fitness centers, home-based service, health clubs, research centers and government agencies.

ICAA’s business intelligence and tools capture the state of the active-industry while giving direction for future growth.

Reflecting the active-aging philosophy of inclusion and recognition that all activities contribute to wellness, ICAA tracks the industry as a whole: for-profit and not-for profit organizations, public and private entities, and multiple business sectors. This world view enables organizations to see how they compare to all others.
