The Importance of Aging in Place in Novi

In surveys, the overwhelming majority of US seniors report a preference for aging in place. This is true even in situations where seniors need support from professional caregivers to live at home safely. Simply put, most seniors would rather spend their golden years at home than move in with their children or relocate to a care facility.

Aging in place isn't just a matter of comfort, either. It also has a measurable impact on seniors' health and well-being. This can be seen most clearly in comparing the health outcomes of seniors who live at home and those who live in care facilities.

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

Assisted living is one of the most common alternatives to in-home care. In an assisted living faclity, seniors have private or semi-private residences where they receive care services from facility staff. Most of these facilities also have shared amenities, like dining and recreation areas.

While most seniors prefer to age in place simply as a matter of comfort, it can also be beneficial for seniors' health. Studies have found that seniors in similar health, receiving similar levels of care, have longer life expectancies when living at home compared to care facilities. This is largely due to the increased risk of infection within these facilities, as well as the improved emotional health of aging at home.
