Aging in Place Supports

SUMMARY - Aging in Place Supports

In a quiet suburb of Calgary, Margaret, a 78-year-old retired teacher, wakes each morning with a sense of profound relief. Her home, modified with grab bars and a ramp, allows her to maintain her independence. She values the autonomy to eat when she wishes, to keep her pets, and to remain surrounded by the memories of her life’s work. For Margaret, aging in place is not merely a logistical preference; it is the preservation of her identity and dignity.
