Ask An Expert Series Visits With Givens Home First

Carolina Living Choices recently sat down with Jessie Bosshard, executive director of Givens Home First for their “Ask an Expert” series to discuss aging in place in Western North Carolina.

Aging in place refers to the ability to live in one’s own home as you grow older – and preferably safely and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level. Many seniors prefer this option to maintain independence, a sense of familiar surroundings and established local connections.

In an in-depth interview, Bosshard discusses how aging in place is not a “one-size-fits-all” and planning and expert assistance can play a crucial role in your future. She looks at home modifications and support services, as well as how circumstances may change over time.
