Making Your Home Safer for the Seniors
Abstract
Making Your Home Safer for the Seniors As they get older, many seniors prefer to age in place or move in with adult children in order to make the aging process a bit more comfortable. Aging in place is a term used to describe the ability to live in one's own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level. If you're one of the lucky ones who have aging parents coming to live with you - or if you're trying to help them age in place - it's important to make your home safe for them. How to Upgrade Your Home So Seniors Can Age in Place - Safely When it comes to upgrading our homes for aging in place, many of us think about installing grab bars and adding wheelchair ramps. Install Monitoring Devices According to a recent study, more than half of adults aged 65 and over want to age in place at home. As our population ages, these monitoring devices will become increasingly important in helping people age in place safely and independently. Upgrade Today for Comfortable Aging in Place Aging in place doesn't require major, expensive home renovations.
