Senior Living Environment
Where a person lives influences many things, including their mental health, physical health, and opportunities. Seniors have many options at their fingertips, but there are also plenty of complexities.
Our posts on this topic delve into the strengths and issues with many living situations, including assisted living, moving in with family, aging in place, and more.
Aging at Home
This is often called aging in place and is the ideal for many seniors. However, there are challenges and complexities to think about.
Living With Family Members
Living with family protects seniors from the risks of being alone and allows family members to provide extra support. It's also a challenging situation that shouldn't be entered into lightly.
Assisted Living & Nursing Homes
These facilities represent a loss of independence, so they can be a scary idea for seniors. Yet, they often improve quality of life and health.
Safety
The safety of a senior's environment is also crucially important. Making small safety improvements can keep them healthy and independent for much longer.
