AGING IN PLACE
CONSULTATION REQUESTS
"Aging in place" refers to the ability for seniors to continue living in their own homes and communities as they age, rather than moving to a residential care facility or nursing home. It is a popular choice for many seniors, as it allows them to maintain their independence and autonomy while remaining in a familiar and comfortable environment. There are several ways that seniors can age in place safely and comfortably. Some common strategies include:
Modifying the home to make it more accessible: This can include installing ramps, handrails, and other assistive devices to help seniors navigate the home more easily.
Ensuring that the home is safe: This can include installing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as making sure that the home is well-lit and free of tripping hazards.
By following these strategies, seniors can continue to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible.
