Summary:
The physical and emotional challenges of aging causes many people to move from their longtime homes out of concern for their well-being. This is a practical guide to not only help you decide if it’s possible to stay put, but perhaps more importantly, how to adapt if you choose not to move. The issues that arise as we age in our homes: our self-reliance, our need for networks, and our capacity to maintain a great quality of life. A blueprint to successful independent living by identifying the important ways to modify your home to stay safe: how modest renovation and some common-sense practices will reduce your risk of injury and increase your well-being.
