What is aging in place?

Aging in place refers to the concept of people choosing to remain in their own homes or communities as they age, rather than relocating to assisted living facilities or nursing homes.

Most adults have a strong desire to maintain their independence, self-sufficiency, and a familiar environment throughout the aging process. Aging in place recognizes that with the right support, modifications, and resources, any of us can maintain a high quality of life and continue to thrive in our own homes.
