This is being recorded on Mother's Day and as I always say, "Every Day is Mother's Day!"

I thought today would be a day to talk about Aging in Place as all the mothers who are still with us are needing help and attention as they age. (Of course, we're not forgetting about the fathers!)

I have been hearing about "my forever house" as people who are remodeling would like to stay in their home as long as possible before the possibility of moving in with a child or going to a facility.

Reasons for the elderly to move in or near family.

  • Be around grandchildren
  • Not be lonely
  • If they need help going to a doctor's appointment, shopping & cooking
  • If they are a fall risk
  • Have physical ailments
  • Need a safe environment

Tips and ideas that will make it easier and safer to live in the home….theirs or yours:

  • Pullout Pantry
  • Keep the Sink Close to the Stove
  • Shallow Sink
  • Place the Microwave at or Below Counter Height
  • Limit use of upper cabinets.
  • Wall Cabinets on counter
  • Make Corners Accessible
  • .Choose Drawers, Not Doors
  • Focus on Clearance Space
  • Floors should be slip-resistant
  • More lighting
  • Loss of depth perception
  • Bar stools hard to use not safe
