Aging is accompanied by a gradual loss of strength and flexibility and can have a significant impact on one’s ability to accomplish tasks around the home. Reaching up or bending down for everyday items can be challenging — even dangerous. ‘Aging in Place’ is the term used by the National Association of Senior Move Managers to describe having the ability to live in the residence of your choice for as long as you’re able as you grow older. This includes having access to whatever services and support you may find necessary as your needs change over time.
