It's a universal truth in America: no one likes the idea of moving into a nursing home. And yet the options for older people seeking to stay in their own homes are often limited. We look at the emerging "aging in place" movement, which aims to help people remain independent, and hear about new efforts in our region to help people remain empowered as they age.
