Understanding the Importance of Aging in Place in Carson City

According to a survey conducted by the AARP, almost 90% of Americans over 65 would rather live at home than in an assisted living facility. It’s easy to understand why seniors have a preference for aging in place. After all, living at home comes with a number of benefits. It’s easier for seniors to continue engaging in their favorite activities and daily habits when they live in familiar surroundings. Plus, the comfortable environment of home simply feels more secure and offers a greater level of freedom of independence.

In addition to being beneficial for seniors’ mental and emotional health, aging in place can also positively impact their physical health. In shared living facilities like senior care communities and nursing homes, contagious illnesses can spread at alarming rates. Studies have shown seniors who receive care at home often have better health outcomes than those in shared living facilities.

How Visiting Angels Carson City Helps With Aging in Place

While the vast majority of older adults have the desire to age in place, it can be challenging to make this wish a reality. As we get older, our mobility, strength, and cognitive abilities decline. As a result, basic activities of daily living become harder and less safe to complete on our own. Even tasks that once felt like second nature, such as bathing, tidying up the house, and preparing meals, can become a burden.

Our caregivers can offer a helping hand with these types of routines while promoting seniors’ quality of life. In addition, they’re able to offer the following forms of specialized care:

• End of Life Care
• Social Care
• Personal Care
• Companion Care
• Palliative Care
• Post-Hospital Care
• Alzheimer’s Care
• Dementia Care
