As older adults continue to adopt technology, digital health technologies will play an important role in helping them age in place, a new report from Rock Health predicts. The report notes that although 77% of people over the age of 55 say they want to age in place, only 50% believe they will.

Older people want choices about where and how they age in place. “Aging in place” was seen as an advantage in terms of a sense of attachment (gắn bó) or connection (kết nối) and feelings of security and familiarity (thân thuộc) in relation to both homes and communities. Aging in place related to a sense of identity both through independence and autonomy (tự chủ) and through caring relationships and roles in the places people live.

The ability to live in one’s home of choice through changes in health status without being forced to move is a clear alternative (giải pháp thay thế) to senior housing. Aging in place and the homecare industry are closely aligned (kết nối). Many people, even with long runs of good health and thorough planning, will still face a decline in their health. Whether the realties of health and care needs are minor or serious, homecare can be a significant factor in someone’s ability to age in place. However, in order for seniors to age in place effectively, they must have a way to meet their needs. In addition to homecare, this means having transport services, food and meal delivery, adult day care (which was on the upswing (phát triển mạnh) with innovative programs and models before the pandemic and is bound to return), durable (lâu bền) medical equipment, home and yard maintenance (bảo trì), security systems, technological monitoring (giám sát) and management, and more.
