We’re living longer in retirement, and more of us want to age in place rather than sell the family home. A recent policy paper by AARP listed the goals of the age-in-place population:
- Ensure access to affordable, high-quality long-term services and supports (LTSS) that maximizes the dignity, independence and protection of older adults
- Create age-friendly, livable communities that enable people to age in place and continue as engaged members of their communities
- Support family caregivers
- Provide ample opportunities to generate, save and preserve financial resources
