ANSWER
Living independently can be enjoyable and rewarding for the elderly. The elderly can maintain their dignity and quality of life while living independently at home as long as their basic needs are met (Yee-Melichar et al., 2015). There are several programs available that enable this.
Among them are the All-Inclusive Care Programs for the Elderly (PACE). This program assists people aged 55 and up by [cmppp restricted] coordinating and providing all types of care that seniors living at home may require. Personal care, medical care, social interaction, transportation, rehabilitation, and medications are all included (Pace4you.org, 2019).
Thanks to PACE, thousands of families can find better care for their elderly loved ones. This allows the elderly to remain in their communities rather than being institutionalized. The elderly gain independence because they no longer need someone to drive them from one appointment to the next and manage all of their medications. There is also less fear because there is no struggle to leave a loved one home alone without the necessary supervision and interaction that they require and desire (Pace4you.org, 2019). The gained independence makes everyone happy and ensures everyone can easily carry out their tasks.
To qualify, one must be certified by the relevant state that they require nursing home care and live in a PACE service area. The individual should also be 55 or older and be able to live safely in the community with the assistance of the PACE service.
