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.
