Embrace Aging in Place
Jane Tom MS, OTR/L, CAPS
Aging In Place is “the ability to live in one’s own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level” defined by the Center for Diseases Control & Prevention. Aging in place is for everyone, not just the elderly. “The sooner, the better” is a fitting saying for those of you who want to take control of your own aging process. Aging in place is also an essential factor for consideration in planning for multigenerational homes or those of you who are in multigenerational households.
