Aging in Place
What Does 'Aging in Place' Mean?
Aging in place describes when an individual receives care in their home or community. This care aims to extend the time individuals can remain at home, delaying a transfer to a traditional long-term care facility.
More Information
Aging in place involves in-home or community-based care that prolongs the time individuals can live at home outside of traditional long-term care facilities.
This care is rooted in the understanding that individuals are happier in their homes. Aging in place helps build trust within the community, can lower care costs, and helps individuals preserve their sense of home and independence.
