Aging in place evokes an image of baby boomers staying put in the homes they’ve inhabited for decades, leaving only when carried out feet first.

Advertisers’ reasons for working with Amazon haven’t changed much this year—it’s the leading digital retailer and one of the most-visited web properties in the US.
