Being Happy is Important
The National Institute on Aging discusses aging in place and growing old at home in their May 1st, 2017 review. There are many good tips and resources here for our readers. Being happy is a number one priority. Let’s get educated!
Encourages Independence
Living at home gives a sense of security which encourages independence longer when in your own home. It is important to decide your own schedule of when you would like to bathe, eat, go grocery shopping etc. If you take away daily decisions such as meals or bathing time, that can encourage a senior to “give up”.
