Aging In Place
Aging in Place for Baby Boomers
Aging in place is the ability of an individual to live in their own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level. Our experts in this area of the site delve into what it means to age in place, explore the benefits and challenges, and provide insight into how we can successfully prepare for this phase of life. The benefits of aging in place are many. Emotionally, it provides a sense of comfort and continuity that is deeply intertwined with personal memories and familiarity with one’s home. Socially, it allows us to maintain established Relationships and remain part of our local community. Economically, it is often more cost-effective than moving into specialized senior living environments.
If we want to age in place, assessing our home to accommodate us as we become less mobile is crucial. Is there a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor in case climbing stairs becomes a problem. Are entryways and exits easily accessible if you need a walker or wheelchair in the future. Who will tend to your house inside and out if you can’t. Aging in place offers a promising alternative to traditional senior living options, providing seniors with a sense of dignity, independence, and connection to their community, so plan ahead so we can begin aging in place with grace.

While we enjoy the ease of interaction provided by mobile devices and social media platforms, we’re also concerned about losing what makes human connection unique and special.
