Many seniors want to stay in their own homes as they age, but mental and physical limitations often get in the way. In this hour, we look at when aging in place is a viable option, how to make homes more accessible and what resources are available to support seniors and their caregivers. Tell us: What factored into your decision to age in place or move into a senior community? What tips do you have for seniors who want to stay in their homes?
