Aging in place can be difficult without professional support. However, for many elderly adults, it is important to age in the comfort of their own homes. Doing so can improve their overall well-being and their state of mind. If you're concerned about your loved one's ability to age in place, turn to Visiting Angels^® Redlands. Our professional care providers can offer the customized support your loved one needs to comfortably go about their daily routines at home. 

The Importance of Aging in Place

We believe that seniors should have the chance to spend their golden years in a place of their choosing. For most, that place is home. In fact, according to AARP, 90% of American adults over the age of 65 want to live at home. 

Aging in place offers advantages that many families overlook when considering their loved ones' senior care needs. When seniors stay at home, they benefit from being in familiar surroundings where they feel at ease. They also benefit from having the opportunity to engage in established daily rituals that reinforce their sense of self and their identity. 

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

Receiving care in an assisted living center is quite different from receiving care at home. Those who reside in assisted living centers must follow specific rules and schedules, which can reduce their autonomy and limit their ability to embrace life's spontaneity. 

Living at home can also have health benefits for elderly adults. In a shared living environment, contagious illnesses can spread from resident to resident all too easily. Those who live in their own homes can enjoy greater protection against contagions and often have better health outcomes on average.
