Aging in Place programs have a transformative impact on patient safety and outcomes. By empowering seniors to remain in familiar environments, these initiatives promote independence and enhance health outcomes. Not only do they reduce the risk of institutionalization, but they also alleviate the burden on caregivers, fostering improved well-being. Supporting communities and organizations to adopt a holistic approach to elder care, is the path to providing a higher quality of life for seniors and those who care for them. #AgingInPlace #ElderCare #PatientSafety

Tell Your Senators Why You Love Assisted Living This Thursday, January 25 at 10:00 am ET, the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging will hold a hearing, "Assisted Living Facilities: Understanding Long-Term Care Options for Older Adults." This will be the first hearing the Aging Committee has held in more than twenty-years specifically focused on assisted living. Ahead of the hearing, we want to make sure that Senators hear from assisted living residents, family members, and other supporters on why they love assisted living and what makes it so special. It is important that lawmakers hear your personal stories, why you chose assisted living for yourself or a loved one, what makes your community a home, and how your care team is like family. https://lnkd.in/e5f39R2f
