Retirement - Community Living

Home Life Questions Your Child Will Want You to Ask: If I’m still living at home with my parents, what will happen when my parents die – where will I live, and with whom? What supports do I need to continue living as independently as possible in my own home and community as I age? What modifications need to be made to my home to accommodate barriers of aging? How can I be supported to age in place? Are there community resources for seniors I can utilize, such as Meals on Wheels or housekeeping assistance? Are there things such as dementia happening to me, adding to concerns of my safety? Am I in danger of falling or other hazards? Are there home modifications to help keep me safe?
