Aging in place is an admirable, realistic goal; however, if you don’t do an honest assessment and take steps to implement improvements, it’s only an aspiration. The objective should be to make your living space more age-friendly with changes that benefit all ages in living safely and comfortably. Don’t wait for a crisis, such as a slip on a throw rug resulting in a broken hip (falls are the number one reason for emergency room visits for older adults) before making improvements.
