Meet The Authors: "How To Age In Place"

Call it a senior center or an "old folks' home," few people want to go there to live out the remaining days of their lives, no matter how comfortable.

Many seniors would prefer to stay in their own homes, a process called aging in place. In their book How to Age in Place: Planning for a Happy, Independent, and Financially Secure Retirement, clinical psychologists and aging specialists Mary Languirand and Robert Bornstein lay out the steps adults should be taking to make it possible.
