The NAIPC is an association of in-home senior service providers and local organizations focused on aging issues. In this conversation, we discuss the goals of the aging in place movement. Why is this an important goal for seniors? What are the advantages to aging in place? In addition, Tara shares with our audience the 5 pillars of aging in place. How do we make home modifications that allow us to age in place? How about meeting transportation needs, and meeting social needs? These and other questions look at what it takes to improve the likelihood of living in our homes, well into our future. Tune in to this conversation about the different strategies to living longer in our own homes.
