Ability KC and Aging In Place

Aging in Place Takes Planning, Support and the Right Tools

As people with intellectual and developmental disabilities live longer, families and support teams are having more conversations about aging, accessibility, communication and long-term planning.

This month, eitas is highlighting Ability KC and the important role home evaluations, adaptive equipment and assistive technology can play in helping people remain safe, connected and involved in the life they choose.

Aging in place is about more than staying home. It is about choice, dignity, routine, relationships and having the right supports in place before a crisis happens.
