Age in Place or Find a New Space: Join The Upcoming Webinar on December 11th

Published On
December 4, 2025
As we age, the desire to stay in our own homes is more important than ever. But how do we make sure that our homes are equipped to meet the changing needs of aging adults? At BrightStar Care of Fairfax, we believe that aging in place is an essential option for seniors who want to maintain their independence, comfort, and quality of life at home.

On December 11th at 12:00 PM ET, we invite you to join Carol Chiang, a globally recognized aging-in-place expert, for an interactive webinar that will provide valuable insights on how you or a loved one can successfully age at home.

During the webinar, Carol will explore practical strategies and solutions, including home modifications, physical fitness, lifestyle medicine, and technology.

This is an opportunity you won’t want to miss if you’re interested in learning how to make aging in place a reality.

Why “Aging in Place” Matters

The desire to age in place is a universal wish for many older adults. Staying at home offers a sense of independence, comfort, and connection to familiar surroundings. However, as we age, our physical abilities and needs change, and our homes may need adjustments to continue supporting us safely.

Challenges of Aging in Place:
  • Home Modifications: As physical mobility decreases, certain aspects of the home may need adjustments, such as adding grab bars, ramps, or stairlifts to ensure safety.

     
  • Physical Fitness: Staying active becomes crucial as we age, but not all seniors have the space or equipment to engage in fitness routines at home.

     
  • Lifestyle Medicine: Healthy living practices, including diet and wellness, become even more important as we grow older.

     
  • Technology: The right technology can enhance safety, comfort, and communication in a home, enabling seniors to live independently.

     
Carol Chiang's webinar will address these important areas and offer concrete solutions to help you modify your environment and lifestyle to continue living at home with dignity and independence.

What You Will Learn in the Webinar


Carol Chiang’s Evolving Homes® Model
During the webinar, Carol will introduce the Evolving Homes® model, which focuses on four interconnected pillars for thriving at home:
  1. Home Modifications: Carol will share ideas on how simple home modifications can create safer, more accessible spaces for seniors.

     
  2. Physical Fitness: Learn about the importance of physical activity and how even small adjustments to fitness routines can promote better health and mobility.

     
  3. Lifestyle Medicine: Discover how maintaining a healthy diet, managing stress, and prioritizing wellness are essential to aging well.

     
  4. Technology: Learn about cutting-edge technologies that can assist with daily living, improve safety, and help seniors remain independent at home.

     
These tools and insights will help you make informed decisions about whether to modify your existing space or find a new one that better supports aging in place.
