Abstract:
As people age, decrements in sensory, motor, and cognitive function often jeopardize their ability to manage activities of daily living safely and comfortably in their own homes. The purposes of this article are to discuss common problems faced by many elders who want to remain at home, present information about possible solutions that increase their safety and comfort, and provide resources for additional information on assistive products.
