Aging in place |
There are quite a few variables to consider in deciding whether an elder can safely age at home.

The National Aging in Place Council created Act III: Your Plan for Aging in Place (PDF, 871 KB, 24 pp), a workbook for patients, their families, and providers. It accounts for health, physical ability, financial costs, support systems, and where the patient would prefer to live.

Additionally, the article, Aging Parents at a Distance Who Aren't Really 'Just Fine,' has important information for families who may not live near their elders. It provides information on what signs to look for to determine whether aging in place can be an option even if the elder lives a good distance away.

For elders who are able to stay home, the article, Finding Support for Seniors Facing Challenges Living Alone, provides advice on how to make sure their independence includes physical and emotional health support services
