Thinking through the next steps
Living at home for as long as possible is a goal that most of us share, but as we age, changes occur in our ability to function mentally and physically, making it a challenge to remain at home. These changes often necessitate thinking through next steps and taking action, such as installing safety devices and getting support when needed.
Developing a plan for the future can be difficult, but not having a plan can be more costly, and cause more heartache. That’s why Philips Lifeline is sponsoring the Independent Living Assessment for older adults and their families to plan for the future while continuing independent living at home.
The independent Living Assessment, powered by Boston University Activity Measure for Post Acute Care (AM-PAC), is a free evaluation taken online, which assesses your ability to live independently. This clinically validated assessment covers three areas of function – moving about freely, managing life skills and performing daily tasks.
