Background
The global older population is growing, with many preferring to age in place—living independently at home or in their communities. Aging in place ensures safety, comfort, and quality of life despite physical or cognitive decline. Addressing this need is essential to enable all older adults to age at home with dignity, security, and necessary support.
Value
Aging in place enhances quality of life by fostering independence, social connections, and a sense of belonging. Unlike institutional care, it reduces risks like depression and social isolation. With community support, older adults can maintain their independence and dignity. However, realizing these benefits requires addressing challenges to ensure safe, supported aging at home.
