This chapter introduces an expanded definition of aging in place, provides a rationale for the shift to this preferred model of aging in society, and describes the distinct value occupational therapy offers to support aging in place. Focus is centered on client and personal factors that put persons at highest risk and the role of OT in assessing for/intervening at the person level for aging in place.
