SUMMARY - Aging in Place Supports
An elderly woman lives in the house where she raised her children, surrounded by memories, neighbors who know her, a garden she has tended for decades. She needs help with bathing and meals now, her body no longer doing what it once did. With adequate home support, she could stay. Without it, she will be forced into a facility she does not want to enter. A man cares for his wife with dementia, the love and familiarity of home easing her confusion. The alternative is institutional care where she would not know anyone. He needs respite, help with her care, modification to their home.
