What Is Aging In Place?

November 20, 2008 by pabernathey.

More than 90 percent of seniors say that they want to age in a familiar setting. That means they want to age in place. What does that mean? Well, it mainly means that seniors want to stay in the house where they have lived most of their lives. Or, they want to stay in the apartment/condo they use as a down-sizing item. They want to be home.

Seniors do not want to go to a nursing home, and many feel that assisted living communities are just renamed nursing homes with nicer fixtures.

But not everyone is healthy enough once they reach their senior years to stay at home independently. They may need some help to do the things they used to take for granted - like meal preparation, bathing, dressing or housekeeping.

Caring Senior Service, and companies like them, can help people age in place. Caring Senior Service is changing the way home care is conducted. Our goal is to provide anything we can - service, products or education - to allow seniors to age in place.

Services include personal care and household duties. Products include home safety technology like QuietCare and medication-management systems like DailyMed.
