Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Aging in place" refers to the preference of elderly people to stay in their own homes where they have lived during their working years and while raising their children, rather than relocating to assisted living facilities or other senior living communities. Hence, option B is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because it refers to remaining in the same job, which is not related to aging in place. Option C is incorrect as it is one of the alternatives to aging in place. Option D is incorrect because elderly people's capabilities tend to decrease with age, and it goes against the idea of aging in place.
