A signifiant concern as people grow older is that they may have to leave their home. This would mean leaving behind a comportable setting, amiliar community and many emories. In addition, a certain amount of control is lost when one leaves home. This "control" provides the underpinning to our feelings of dignity, quality oif life, and independence. One's home is a strong element in that sense of security. We use the term "aging in place' in reference to living where you have lived for many years, or to living in a non-healthcare environment, and usingj products, services and conveniences to enable you to not have to move as circumstances change. "Aging in Place' is growing older without having to move.
