Aging in place, or continuing to live in one's own home as long as possible, can be a great option for seniors who wish to maintain their independence and autonomy. While there are certainly challenges to aging in place, it can be done successfully with the right planning and support. In this blog, we'll take a look at three case studies of seniors who have successfully aged in place, and explore the strategies and support systems they have put in place to make it work.

Aging in Place Case Study 1: Mary, age 82
Mary has lived in the same home for over 50 years, and she has no desire to leave. When she started to have difficulty managing her medications and groceries, she decided to hire a part-time home health aide to assist her with these tasks. She also joined a senior center where she can participate in activities and socialize with others. With the help of her home health aide and the support of the senior center, Mary is able to live independently in her own home.
Aging in Place Case Study 2: Tom, age 78
Tom has always been an active person, but as he has gotten older, he has developed some mobility issues. Rather than move into an assisted living facility, he decided to make some modifications to his home to make it more accessible. He had a ramp installed at the front entrance, widened the doorway to his bathroom, and added handrails throughout the house. He also invested in a motorized scooter to help him get around. With these modifications and the use of his scooter, Tom is able to continue living independently in his own home.
Aging in Place Case Study 3: Jane, age 87
Jane has always been a social person, but as she has gotten older, she has found it harder to get out and about. Rather than move into an assisted living facility, she decided to have a caregiver come to her home a few times a week to provide in-home companionship care. The caregiver helps Jane with tasks such as grocery shopping and light housekeeping, and they also enjoy spending time together doing things like playing games and going for walks. With the help of her caregiver, Jane is able to continue living independently in her own home while still staying active and engaged.
