“Aging at Home” refers to the preference of many elderly individuals to remain in their own homes as they grow older rather than moving to assisted living facilities or nursing homes. While it allows seniors to maintain a sense of independence, familiarity, and emotional comfort, it can become an issue due to the increasing need for physical support, medical care, and home adaptations that many homes lack. For families and caregivers, ensuring the safety and well-being of aging loved ones at home often involves significant logistical, financial, and emotional challenges.
