When it comes to deciding where to live, most people prefer to stay in their own home as long as possible. The key to living at home successfully as a person ages is to be realistic about physical and mental needs, as well as financial and environmental situations. Once your loved one decides staying at home is a possibility, you'll want to become familiar with appropriate services and products. You and your family member may want to consult a professional who will help make the choice a reality.
If your loved one chooses to remain at home, the services of a geriatric care manager or a social worker may be required. They will assess the patient's condition, create a plan of care, and help arrange for services.
