Aging in Place

Aging in place refers to the ability of older adults to live safely, independently, and comfortably in their own homes and communities as they age, rather than relocating to institutional care facilities. 

This concept emphasizes the importance of designing age-friendly environments that accommodate the physical, social, and healthcare needs of seniors. Key strategies include 

• Accessible housing design

• Walkable neighborhoods

• Reliable public transportation

• Proximity to social amenities

Aging in place supports the well-being and dignity of older adults, reduces healthcare costs, and fosters intergenerational communities by enabling seniors to remain active participants in their neighborhoods.
