    Keeping Your Freedom and Independence While Aging in Place

    Keeping Your Freedom and Independence While Aging in PlaceFreedom and independence go hand in hand. When an elderly person loses the ability to drive a car, often times they feel as though they’ve lost their independence. They will have to rely on others to get to where they need to go, which affects the feeling of independence. However, there are many ways to keep both freedom and independence as one ages in place. These things will keep seniors feeling motivated, getting around and allowing themselves to enjoy life, even if their activities are limited, in comparison to what they were once able to do on their own. If you’re a senior, aging in place, here’s a few things to keep in mind:

    1. Asking for Help is Not a Crime – When it comes to asking for help or seeking a community service, do not feel like you’re overwhelming or burdening anyone by your request for help. You’re entitled to stay as independent as you are able, as you age in place. You’re entitled to live a fulfilled life. When you ask for help when you need it, it isn’t a sign of weakness. Everyone needs help at some point in their life. Asking for help is one way to retain independence in the other areas of your life. No one can do it all by themselves!
    2. Take the Necessary Precautions – Taking precautions to protect yourself while you age in place is ideal. Many medical alert products are now on the market, such as the Pioneer Emergency product line that can alert the emergency personnel of something going wrong inside your home. It is a quick and easy button, and you can have one to keep in the home and one to keep on you at all times. Taking the precautions to protect yourself as you remain independent in your home is easy to do and essential to remaining independent.
    3. Do Things You Can Do – Even though there might be things that you’re not able to do anymore, there is plenty that you can do still. You can still take care of yourself, stick to a routine, prepare and eat healthy meals. You can keep in contact with friends and family and maintain a social life. You can wash and clean most of the home on your own. You can work on needlework, read some books or a newspaper and talk with others about the findings. There is always something you can do to enrich your life and be the person you always have been. 
    4. Age in Place – While it isn’t ideal for everyone, aging in place can be a great option for many seniors. Staying in your home and sticking to the things you normally do everyday, without interference, can keep you independent indefinitely. Many seniors hire someone to come in and help with household chores, while still maintaining their independence, privacy and freedom. Having this freedom is enough for many seniors to feel good about themselves and enjoy their golden years.

    Once you figure out that sometimes, everyone needs a little help; you can begin to enjoy the independence you’ve always enjoyed, without the worry. Aging in place can be a good option for many seniors. You can have peace of mind, exercising your ability to make these decisions for yourself. It is something that so many seniors are searching for, but you’ve finally got it for yourself.
