Aging in Place in the simplest of terms means adapting ones environment so that you can grow old there comfortably for as long as possible. A few thousand dollars worth of renovations to a home to make it aged care suitable like adding ramps or rails in the shower could save you tens of thousands in aged care home bills in the long run.

Like the previous poster said, aging in place is the process by which a senior attempts to live in their own home throughout their later years. Concerns they might have involve mostly the accessibility of their home, and renovations that can be done to make moving around the home easier for someone who isn't as strong as mobile or as balanced as they once were. Another addition to a home that can assist in aging in place is the installation of a medical alert system. Such a tool can provide a senior (especially one who lives alone) with a way to contact help if a fall occurs.
