Aging in Place

The country has experienced an expanding aging population since the last century. Many organizations and authorities, like USAging, advocate for helping older adults to live with well-being, optimal health, independence, and dignity. However, older Americans usually prefer to age in place in their own home.

What does aging in place mean?

As people grow older, it is common to hear them say that they would rather be in their homes to continue living independently. That’s called “aging in place.”

Every person’s needs should differ as they age, and in that stage of life, changes can come without previous notice. As time passes, remaining comfortable and safe at home might be challenging, but the older population needs to maintain control over their lives, preserve their independence, and spend time where they can feel happy and secure.
