Assured Allies today announced the launch of
Age Assured, a free program offered through long term care insurance companies, designed for people who want help continuing to live independently as they age.
There are a vast number of products and services aimed at helping people remain independent as they "age in place," with more available every day. The pandemic has increased the complexity of decision-making at a time when people are more motivated than ever to continue living at home.
"Almost everyone shares the goal of aging in place. There's nothing like home and it's really great if you can stay there as long as possible," Terrence O'Malley, MD, Division of Palliative Care and Geriatric Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital. "The challenge is knowing what you have to do to stay at home, and then doing it. As a geriatrician in my later years myself, I'm encouraged by the way Assured Allies is addressing this issue head on."
