Aging in Place
There are many frustrations that come with aging, a disability,
or a recovery period after an illness or surgery. It is aggravating,
and sometime scary, when previously routine activities become
challenges. Family member or caregivers have difficulty watching
aging parents or adult children struggle to maintain their own homes
and function within them. Although there are times when a person
should move or give up an activity, for many that isn’t necessary.
Simple home modifications or the use of assistive devices will give
individuals the ability to function independently. Making use of
Universal Design principles can help all individuals, especially
senior adults, age in place successfully.
