Aging in Place

My parents are like most of my friend's parents - they want to be part of the aging in place movement. The only time they will ever consider moving to an assisted living or CCRC facility is when they have a health crisis. Then they will make some steps, but as soon as the eldercare crisis is over, back home they want to stay.

I recently came across some great resources about aging in place. Ideas on how to make it work, for as long as possible. I recommend[url] Community Partnerships for Older Adults[/url]. You have to register (free), but the resources are worth it. Also has great links to other aging in place resources. http://www.icohere.com/agingfriendlycop/index.htm

This site has 10 or 12 articles on aging in place plus articles on a variety of other topics (Alzheimers, Nutrition, Housing) that you might want to check out.

Interesting NY Times article discussing a sad but true fact - as the population ages so is the group that is often taking care of them. Will these caregivers have the strength to do what is needed? http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/25/us/25care.html
