SENIOR INDEPENDENCE

Senior independence means an older adult can manage their daily life safely while maintaining control over their choices and routines. It often includes handling personal care, making decisions, and staying socially engaged. Even with support, independence is preserved through a person-centered care approach that respects their preferences and dignity.
