Aging in Place

Aging in Place refers to the ability of an elder to remain living safe, with dignity and autonomy in their home community throughout their lifetime.  Nearly 90% of seniors want to stay in their own homes as they age.  Aging in place promotes life satisfaction, quality of life, and self-esteem.

When aging in place is embraced the community benefits.  Beyond the health and wellness benefits of aging in place for older adults, community members can benefit from the wisdom that older adults can share from their life experiences. Older adults volunteer more than other age group and remain active in their community, which helps people of all ages.

Aging in Place is different for each individual based on their unique needs and resources.  Taking steps to prepare and support our elders for their future can extend the quality of their life and longevity while ensuring their success with Aging in Place.
