Where one lives is always an important decision. As you age there are many new factors to take into consideration when making this decision.

Do you want to live at home? Do you have to make changes to my house? Is there a support system available for you to stay at home? What happens after all your neighborhood friends are gone? Would you enjoy living in a senior housing community?

Decision making should be guided by answering these questions as honestly as you can.

Learn about options that are available to keep you in a private home, even if you become ill. Understand the overriding concern for isolation and loneliness many feel when they become older, no matter where they live. 

Consider carefully whether your housing choice now will serve you after many of your friends have left and you no longer drive a car.

If you plan to stay at home, consider making important changes in your home so it serves you during a period of illness and recovery.  Improve habits to protect yourself and your possessions.

Plan where you want to live as you age right NOW.
