Aging in Place generally means the ability to stay in your own home, near family, friends, and your community, instead of moving to a residential facility. Many older adults would prefer to maintain their sense of home and independence that comes with Aging in Place. Aging in Place can also remove a lot of the stress and financial burden associated with living in an institutional facility.
It’s understandable to have concerns about your ability to safely navigate your home and perform daily activities as you age. Maintaining the independence of living at home requires thoughtful planning and often includes some modifications to mitigate potential fall hazards or other concerns in your home. BluStar will work directly with you to develop a comprehensive plan that ensures your ability to remain safe and comfortable in your own home for many years.
