WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT AGING IN PLACE?

Maintaining Independence

For many seniors, maintaining a sense of independence is essential to maintaining their quality of life. Aging in Place allows older adults to retain a high level of control over their lives as they continue to live in the place most familiar to them: their home. In addition, they can maintain their ties to their family, friends, and community—ties which may be lost if they instead move to assisted living.

Balancing Budgets

The cost of relocating to a senior living facility can be daunting. The fee for assisted living averages $50,000 to over $100,000 per year.  Aging in Place enables seniors to have much lower monthly expenses.

Making Helpful Home Modifications

Many older adults live in homes with stairs, limited bathroom access, slippery floors and numerous other mobility hazards. It is important to assess a home’s safety levels and to address key issues as early as possible, before an emergency occurs. Starting early also makes it easier to budget for home modifications.

The Value of Aging in Place

While some older adults may be more comfortable with the level of assistance offered by senior living, the vast majority of the aging population prefers to continue living in their homes for as long as possible. According to the AARP, nearly 90 percent of adults over 65 want to remain in their current homes as they grow older.
