Abstract: This article explores several key strategies in order to reach the goal of enabling home care for as long as possible for the elderly. Some of these strategies include: preventing falls and injuries, providing preventative medical care, promoting exercise and physical activity, ensuring proper nutrition, fostering social and familial support, and promoting financial preparedness. The research confirms that these strategies are effective in allowing elderly individuals to live out the remaining years of their lives in their own homes and avoid nursing care. Consistent medical examinations, regular treatment and physical activities allow for healthy and independent living. Fall prevention can improve the health and independence of elderly individuals because falls are a major cause of injury and death. Social support by family members, friends and professionals also contribute significantly to the mental and physical health of these individuals. In addition, improving and maintaining cognitive capabilities and emotional regulation have shown to have a strong connection to the overall health and well-being of the elderly.
