This qualitative study explores the lives of older adults with age-related cognitive changes (ARCC) who are aging in place. I collected experiences from ten participants, five older adults with ARCC and five caregivers. For older adults with ARCC to remain in their home as they age in place, there are a variety of factors that need to be present in their life, working together to support them. It is not simply their functional levels and changing cognition that impact their life at home. I sought to understand the complexities that this population of older adults face as they live at home. This research contributes to the aging in place, human geography, and disability studies literatures. The work draws from disability studies to examine the lived experiences of ARCC and uses the social relational understanding of disability to understand how disability is created in the participants' lives. I use human geography literature to examine the interactions of participants in their homes, considering the home as a physical environment. I use theories of space and place to analyze the emotional and material aspects and attachment of home for each participant. Drawing on literature from these fields allows for a critical and nuanced understanding of living at home with ARCC. The incorporation of these fields does not narrow the exploration but rather broadens consideration of the complexities of lives that should not be neglected when promoting aging in place for this population. I argue that the changing cognition and functional abilities of older adults should not be the sole focus when researching aging in place and ways to promote it. There are a variety of factors such as the home environment, caregiving support, and larger scale factors such as finances that impact aging in place, and one's (in)ability to age in place. These different factors should be considered together, and as researchers, we should not neglect the experiential complexities of older adults living with ARCC by narrowing the focus solely to cognition or the home.
