Aging in Place

Bay Area Older Adult Community Resource of the Week – Aging In Place

This week’s Geri Community Resource is: Aging In Place.

Aging In Place is an organization focused on providing resources for seniors who wish to live in their own homes as they age, rather than moving to assisted living facilities or nursing homes. It offers assistance on various aspects of aging at home, including modifications to enhance safety and mobility accessibility within the home such as adjustable beds, walk-in tubs, or even a portable oxygen concentrator. For more information visit their website at aginginplace.org.
