Why Aging in Place Matters
According to the AARP, nearly 90% of adults over 65 want to remain in their current homes as they grow older.
But what does "aging in place" really mean?
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines it as "the ability to live in one's own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level.
Aging in place requires thoughtful planning across key areas
Medical Needs
Are there health conditions that require home modifications or caregiving support?
Transportation Needs
How will you or your loved one get to appointments, run errands, or stay active in the community?
Socialization Needs
How can you maintain social connections and prevent isolation?
Financial Resources
What budget is available for home modifications and long-term planning?
Home Environment
Is your home designed to support safety and independence as mobility changes?
Falls: The Biggest Risk to Aging in Place
Falls affect us all—whether personally or through someone we love. Every second of every day, an older adult falls.
Every year, more than one in four older adults reports falling, and about 41,000 older adults die as a result of a fall—that’s 112 older adults every day. More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falls.
Good news: Falls are preventable!
With the right home modifications, 85% of these accidents can be avoided—ensuring a safer, more independent future.
