When seniors relocate

Where we will live and die as we age is a dilemma that each of us faces. With the population of seniors growing at an unprecedented rate, decisions about where to live are evoking considerable attention from families, the health care system and the business community. Most seniors hope to live in their own homes as long as possible, and many manage to do just that; however, deliberations about maintaining or securing affordable, appropriate housing for their elderly members remain a necessary part of all families' developmental work. All families have to face the if, when and how of housing shifts for their senior members.
