Home Improvements Can Help People Age Independently. But Medicare Seldom Picks Up the Bill. - KFF Health News
87% Informative
Community Aging in Place: Advancing Better Living for Elders, or CAPABLE , is offered in about 65 places across 26 states.
It helps people 60 and up, and some younger people with disabilities or limitations, who want to remain at home but have trouble with activities like bathing, dressing, or moving around safely.
Despite evidence and accolades, CAPABLE remains small, serving roughly 4,600 people to date.
Medicare would have to decide which beneficiaries would be eligible.
Szanton said there are safeguards and more could be built in.
For Tsubaki, his books are not only shelved but organized by topic, the benefits have endured.
“I became more independent. I’m able to handle most of my activities,” he said.
