The Challenges of Aging in Place
What are some signs that an older adult may need more support and care at home?
Many older adults want to age in place, but sometimes this can become challenging not only to the senior, but also to the people who care for them. There are many signs that may indicate your loved one is no longer able to safely live at home or is having a harder time doing simple tasks. It’s not all about safety, either - seniors aging in place may be at risk of experiencing social isolation, which can contribute to further physical decline.
In this presentation, Catherine Couture, director of community life at Orchard Cove in Canton, MA, provides useful suggestions and questions you can ask yourself if you believe your loved one needs more supportive care. You’ll learn specific things you can do, services that can help, and alternatives to care.
