Aging-In-Place

What is aging-in-place?

Aging-in-place means remaining in one’s home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or functional ability level. It means the pleasure of living in a familiar environment throughout one’s life, and to continue enjoying the routine daily rituals and sentimental memories that enrich all our lives. It means the reassurance of being able to call a house a “home” for a lifetime.

There’s no place like home

Aging-in-place has become the popular choice in lifestyle for older adults. If your like most Americans, you want to continue living in your current home and community for as long as possible. As you age, there are good reasons for choosing to do so. Studies show that seniors who remain in their own homes add 4 years to their life expectancy. An AARP study found the 89% of the people surveyed preferred to remain in their own homes and communities rather than move. The California Healthcare Foundation reported similar findings.

A cost effective alternative to an assisted living facility

In the past, when someone had concerns about living by themselves, it generally meant that it was time to move in with a family member or to a costly assisted living facility. Not anymore. Seniors are remaining at home and living independently with a little help where needed.

An AARP study found that a great number of those respondents said a parent, spouse, or another household member had difficulty walking, bathing, negotiation stairs, or getting into or out of bed or a chair; and the use of assistive devices and home adaptations helped them get around and remain self-sufficient.
