The vast majority of the elderly today would rather stay in their homes for as long as possible than in assisted living facilities. If you are among them, make sure your living spaces have the features and amenities for aging in place.
Find out what it means to “age in place” and why so many of the elderly want to stay in their communities as they age from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of South Valley, the trusted “home remodeler near me“.
Fostering Independence and Empowerment
Aging in place enables seniors to maintain their sense of independence and freedom, which are essential components of ensuring optimal mental and emotional health. For the elderly, to be independent, they must have control over their own lives and take an active role in society. With the help of family members or professional caregivers, they can achieve that and much more.
Promoting a Healthier and Safer Living Environment
Many seniors live in assisted care facilities because they believe it’s healthier and safer than staying in their homes. The truth is your own home can be just as healthy and safe, or even better! This is especially true if you have family members or professional caregivers to look out for you. Through an accessible remodeling project, aging in place helps promote these two integral qualities seniors will benefit from.
Maintains Familiarity and Comfort
There’s more to a home than just a shelter for eating and sleeping. It is also a place where you can spend quality time with your loved ones. When you are surrounded by the people you hold dear, the sentimental value of your home becomes more apparent. The strong emotional bond with them increases further, which is enough reason for you to stay put. As cliché as it may sound, the passage “there’s no place like home” rings true when you age in place.
