In Season 2, we talked about Aging in Place with the founder of HomesRenewed, which focused on ways to make the built environment work for people who wish to remain in their own homes or apartments and avoid moving into a facility if at all possible.In this episode, we speak with Dr. Sarah Szanton, one of the founders of the CAPABLE Project (https://nursing.jhu.edu/CAPABLE), which takes the problem of aging in place a step further – addressing both the physical space and the functional limitations of the resident.
