An Aging in Place Plan is not for “old” people. Did you know that, although Americans are healthier and living longer than ever before, seniors are outliving their ability to drive safely by an average of 7 to 10 years? They drive less after dark, during rush hour or in bad weather, and avoid difficult roads such as highways and intersections. How many of us have thought of, or planned for even this one eventuality? An Aging in Place Plan is created to help individuals choose where they want to reside and the lifestyle they wish to have as they age. That includes incorporating ideas about the services, care, and support one might need as life changes over time. Aging in place doesn’t mean just not moving. The goal of anyone wanting to age in place should be not just to maintain quality of life, but to thrive where ever you want to be. In order to do that, a good plan focuses on what is most meaningful to you and should cover possible adaptations to your home, finances, future care and other items, and should be
created as early as possible. As with any good plan, it should be maintained over time. Who needs an Aging in Place Plan? Creating a plan is for you, right now! If you haven’t retired yet you have time to think about your needs, research your options, and put together a plan that fits you and your family. If you have retired, putting the time into creating a plan will help you remain in control of your life. Building a plan will prepare you to deal with the issues you’ll encounter down the road and ease some of the concern the ones you love will experience. For those us caring for a parent or someone we love, an Aging in Place Plan is for us too. You can be the most helpful by planning with them to ensure their needs are met and wishes respected. It will also help you provide the level of care that is right for them and show your respect to them by ensuring their dignity is kept intact and their needs are met.
