Looking for solutions to help you stay in your home longer as you age? Matt McGuire has the answers! I loved the point he made to 1. Be proactive and start thinking about and budgeting for the modifications you may want to make. 2. Pay attention to your current behaviors...are you grabbing for certain fixtures in your house to aid you in sitting, standing, or climbing stairs? Those would be areas you want to install something more stable to aid you as you age. As you age, those stairs or climbing over the edge of your tub may start to seem like climbing a mountain. Again start to look around and plan for what will suit you best.
Matt pointed out that most people do not inquire because they are afraid of the cost. And yes, after the pandemic prices have gone up but they will continue to over time. So take action now. You may be surprised how many programs are out there to aid you in the cost of these modifications. Ask you local senior center or Matt and his team could suggest programs too.
