AS BABY BOOMERS OURSELVES, THIS SUBJECT IS CLOSE TO OUR HEART. WE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PROCESS. THIS TREND IS DRIVEN IN PART BY THE RISING COSTS OF LONG-TERM CARE, COUPLED WITH THE RAPIDLY GROWING SENIOR POPULATION AS THE BABY BOOMER GENERATION AGES – A GENERATION THAT’S ENJOYING A MORE ACTIVE, VIBRANT LIFESTYLE THAN PREVIOUS GENERATIONS.  TECHNOLOGY AND WIDER AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES, SUCH AS HOME MEAL DELIVERY SERVICES, ARE MAKING IT EASIER FOR OLDER ADULTS TO REMAIN IN THEIR OWN HOMES INDEPENDENTLY, AS WELL.

​

MANY OLDER ADULTS HAVE SPENT DECADES RAISING FAMILIES IN THEIR HOMES AND WANT TO REMAIN IN THE HOME WHERE THEY’VE CREATED SO MANY CHERISHED MEMORIES AS LONG AS THEY CAN. OTHERS OPT TO AGE IN PLACE BECAUSE THE COST OF RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES, INDEPENDENT LIVING, AND ASSISTED LIVING IS DAUNTING. WHILE IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE FOR AN OLDER ADULT TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY FOREVER, THERE ARE MANY CHANGES THAT CAN BE MADE TO A HOME TO MAKE IT SAFER AND MORE FUNCTIONAL FOR THEM TO REMAIN IN THEIR OWN HOMES LONGER. BY IMPLEMENTING HOME MODIFICATIONS THAT SUPPORT AGING IN PLACE, TODAY’S SENIORS ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE, AND IN THE LONG RUN, MAY SAVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY ON SENIOR LIVING. 

​

THERE ARE MAY THINGS WHICH CAN BE DONE TO MOST HOMES WHICH WILL FACILITATE AGING IN PLACE. THINGS LIKE RAMPS, WIDER DOORS, LOWER COUNTERS, LEVERS INSTEAD OF KNOBS, LOWER APPLIANCES AND SWITCHES, ZERO ENTRY SHOWERS, ADJUSTABLE SHOWER HEADS, ELEVATORS AND EASY CHAIRS, AND MUCH MORE.
