Aging in place

By Alan Forbes | Other articles by Alan Forbes

Most seniors strongly desire to age in place, living in the same home or community safely, comfortably and independently. Naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) are a little-known option for addressing this desire. The NORC model looks to integrate support — health, social, physical — into the community to make it easier for people to age in place.
