Aging in place

Posted By serpenses94

"Aging in place"

(as a relative),

I wish that my grandma had a medical home that allowed her to stay in place. Instead, she has had to move a couple of times because the services cannot come to her. Now there is talk about her progressing out of her current place because they don't offer LTC. That would make three moves in two years. The moves are very hard on her and I don't think the benefit is worth it. I feel like something is wrong with the way we are designing facility supports instead of home supports.
