Resources for Aging in Place: Growing Older at Home

The National Institute on Aging has created a wonderful resource called Aging in Place: Growing Older at Home that may be a helpful tool and resource for patients and their families. It includes a one-page graphic that outlines simple but important changes to make homes easier and safer to live in. The focus is on providing information about how elders can continue to live independently.

The site also has resources for preventing falls at home, living alone with early-stage dementia, and finding services for older adults living at home.
