Aging in place is the desire to live in one’s home and community as one age. This can be a challenge, as
seniors may need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, and cooking.
There are several senior services available to help people age in place safely and comfortably.
HOW SENIOR SERVICES HELP?
Senior services can help you age in your own home in a number of ways. They can:
1. Provide you with the assistance you need to live independently.
2. Help you stay safe and healthy.
3. Prevent loneliness and isolation.
4. Give you peace of mind knowing that you have the support you need.
There are many different types of senior services available, including:
- Home care: This can provide help with ADLs, housekeeping, and meal preparation.
- Adult day care: This can provide care and supervision for seniors during the day.
- Transportation: This can help seniors get to appointments, run errands, and socialize.
