I think the term “aging in place” should be retired. Everyone is aging, and it doesn’t matter where we live; we start aging the day we are born and continue to age until we die.
People who move to assisted living, memory care, or a skilled nursing facility continue to age. There is quite an age range of residents in “senior” facilities.
President Biden was 82 when he left office. Like his predecessors, he aged four years while in office, but no one said he was “aging in place”.
No matter where we are or how old we are, we are always aging, which means that everyone is aging in place.
At what point are we “Old”? That is a tough one.
Everyone ages in place until they die, yet we only mention it if the person is old.
