Aging in place at home has several advantages over moving to an assisted living or nursing home facility. It allows seniors to maintain their independence and freedom within the safety and comfort of a familiar environment. Remaining at home also avoids the risks of disease transmission and feels more affordable since mortgages are often already paid off. Additionally, aging at home allows seniors to stay close to loved ones and not feel displaced from their living space.

1. Why to Age in Place?

2. Aging in place ensures safety, long term care, freedom and comfort to the
elders.)
Live within the safety and comfort of your place, or move to an
overcrowded and “hostel” like institution known as assisted living or
nursing homes? If you are not able to decide right now, here are the
advantages of aging in place to know.

3. Health
At nursing homes, an elder can catch contracting
diseases from other seniors. But that’s not a case when
you live at home. Aging affects your immune system.
Or you can say that it weakens as you age.

4. Independence
and Comfort:
Seniors feel comfortable when they age in familiar places like
home. The flexibility of being within your living space is quite
different from what you will experience in assisted living.

5. Affordability
Nursing homes and assisted
living facilities are costly. It
is budget-friendly to stay at
home as most seniors have
already paid their home
mortgages as they reach 65-
74.

6. Comfort
From your favorite chair to
mattresses, the space you are
familiar to, the temperature,
and the acquaintance, all add
to the comfort of living in
your home.

7. Close to Loved Ones
Living with loved ones is one of the
desires of many elders as well as their
loved ones. Assisted living facilities can
regulate visits in a way that minimizes
this social time, and aged adults may
feel lonely or displaced when separated
from not only their living spaces.
