ABSTRACT
Designing Accommodations for Aging-in-Place The concept of aging-in-place represents the idea of enabling older adults to maintain independence in their home environment. Ideally, people should not be required to leave their home because of diminished capacity. As discussed throughout this book, age-related changes in perception, cognition, and movement control and the increased incidence of chronic illnesses and disabilities among older adults may necessitate accommodations in and to the home that will support the everyday activities of older people.
