Aging in Place | Aging Matters | NPT Reports

The fifth installment in Nashville Public Television’s NPT Reports: Aging Matters series examines what it takes for Tennesseans to successfully age in place.

It’s what most of us say we want, to age in our own home until the end of our lives. But aging in place is no guarantee of a high quality of life. And as we age, our needs may change. Will we be able to climb the stairs, reach those upper cabinets, and manage the upkeep any home requires?

In the documentary you will hear from Americans facing decisions now. What are the common challenges, are there examples of people making it work?

When the time comes, what do we really want? What are our options? Have we prepared enough to make it work?

On this edition of Aging Matters, we will look at the realities of aging in place and learn what it takes to make our ideals match the reality.
NPT Reports | Aging Matters | Aging in Place was originally aired on Thursday, May 28th, 2015 on Nashville Public Television.
