“Aging in place” is growing older without having to move.
Our seniors do not want to be moved to another facility when their
health declines and their care needs increase.
They want to stay in a familiar environment, surrounded by
friends and activities that they have come to associate with
“home.”

Independent
Living
Serge
Lefevere
(DETOO
ARCHITECTS)
Independent living is the ability to maintain one’s residence and
lifestyle without custodial or medical assistance.
A way to gauge someone’s ability to live independently is by
evaluating if they are able to perform activities of daily living
(ADL).
ADLs are the things we normally do on a daily basis, including
any daily activity we perform for self-care, such as bathing,
dressing and undressing, eating, transferring from bed to chair,
and back, using the toilet, walking (not bedridden).

Assisted
Living
Serge
Lefevere
(DETOO
ARCHITECTS)
Assisted living is for those who need some help in their daily
lives, but don’t require the medical care provided by a nursing
home or other institutional setting. It provides housing and
services when it is no longer safe or practical for an older adult to
live alone in his or her home.

I’ve
learned
that
people
will
forget
what
you
said,
people
will
forget
what
you
did,
but
people
will
never
forget
how
you
made
them
feel.
