What
is Aging in Place?
Aging in place
(aka 'age in place') is the ability to live in one's own
home of choice and community - wherever that might be - for as long as confidently
and comfortably possible. Livability can be extended through
the incorporation of universal design principles, telecare
and other assistive technologies. |
What
is Universal Design?
Universal Design is the design of products and
environments to be usable by as many people as possible, regardless of
age, ability or circumstance. |
