When aging in place at home, a senior has a lot on their plate to make their health care a priority. Scheduling alone can be difficult, especially if they are already struggling with health issues. Making appointments and finding transportation can mean reaching out to others, something that seniors can grapple with given their strong sense of independence. And, if you live by yourself, you may not be aware of your changing health care needs as they occur. This lack of self-awareness makes asking for and accepting help even more difficult. Where you live in proximity to hospitals and clinics, and your family, can also add to the cost of health care.
