How To Get Started on Aging in Place

Preparing for living in a home as a senior requires a sound strategy, whether you’re planning to stay in your home for the long haul or have parents and grandparents aiming to do so. I recently discovered a helpful resource that will make getting started on this adventure much easier and more organized.

Lowe’s has a solid resource guide that lays out the steps seniors can take to outfit their homes so they can live comfortably as they age. The Livable Home page features articles and videos about home improvement projects such as adding grab bars in the tub, swapping out door knobs for handles, improving lighting, anchoring furniture, and installing ramps and stair lifts.

You can also use an AI home assessment that will guide you in identifying which projects will be worth doing.

I’m a huge fan of helping seniors stay in their homes for as long as they can, and highly recommend planning well ahead of time if you’re intending to stay in your home for the long term.
