As defined by the National Aging in Place Council (NAPC), aging in place (i.e., aging in community), is “the ability to continue to live in one’s home safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level. It means living in a familiar environment, and being able to participate in family and other community activities (2014).” The World Health Organization (2007) notes that aging in place/community aims to reverse or lesson the decrease in functional capacity that occurs with age. As a comprehensive approach to staying in one’s community/home, aging in place involves a variety of issues facing senior citizens, including housing, finance, health, education, recreation, and transportation.en-USQuality of lifeSenior citizensAgingDelaware senior citizensSenior citizen transportationElderly transportationCommunity transportationAging in placeAging in communityAging in Community Opportunities for Delaware’s Senior Population: The Significance of Accessible Community Transportation OptionsTechnical Report
