TOPIC: Aging In Place
Aging in Place is gaining popularity as an innovative and lower-cost approach to elder care and/or recovery at home. It is often misunderstood as a concept specifically for the elderly, but, Aging in Place (AIP) comprises 3 distinct segments:

• AIP for those without urgent needs.
• AIP for those with progressive condition needs.
• AIP for those with traumatic change needs.

Learn more about the concept, where to begin, and what solutions are appropriate for you, from Certified Aging In Place Specialist, Darlene Pidgeon, MBA, RN, CAPS; Founder of Castle Maven – An Aging In Place Solutions Company.”
