“Aging in place” means remaining in the place you call home even when age- or health-related changes may make it difficult to do so. The place you call home may be your home of many years. It may be your children’s home. It may be a retirement community that provides a continuum of services and programs. It may be an assisted living community. Regardless of location, it is where you choose to age in place.
Although a large majority of older Americans say they want to age in place within the home they have lived in for years, this is often more easily said than done. The care infrastructure, technologies, housing, funding and services to help people age in place must respect the wishes of aging Americans to live in a place of their choosing.
Aging in place focuses on helping people:
