Understanding the National Aging in Place Council (NAIPC): Real Guidance for Families and Caregivers
Many families want to help a loved one age safely at home, yet they often do not know where to begin. In this episode of Seniors Home Zone, listeners hear directly from two leaders in the National Aging in Place Council (NAIPC) who explain how families can access trusted support, practical resources, and a network of professionals who specialize in aging in place.
Tara Ballman, Executive Director of NAIPC, shares how the organization connects experts in housing, healthcare, finance, transportation, and social engagement to help older adults stay safe and supported at home. She explains the five pillars of aging in place and offers clear steps families can take long before a crisis.
Mary Lynch, Chair of the Greater Baltimore NAIPC chapter, discusses her caregiving story, how her chapter grew quickly through community education, and why families need access to vetted professionals who understand the challenges of aging at home.
This episode provides caregivers and adult children with practical direction, trusted language for difficult decisions, and a roadmap for finding reliable aging-in-place resources in their own communities.
