Aging in Place
Aging in place is living in the home and community of your choice and is the way most senior citizens want to spend their golden years...In fact, nearly 90% of seniors want to stay in their own homes as they age, according to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). Even if they begin to need day-to-day assistance or ongoing health care during retirement, most (82%) would prefer to stay in their own 
homes.
