My husband has arthritis. When we built our home five years ago, we took that into account. It is a one-level with a bonus room up. Our guess is we'll be here another 20 years or so.

HI Laura~

 

I've been trying to respond to your tweets, but the "reply" seems to be missing. Hope this little eReader can be helpful. Good ENergy. Would love to have a volume on Feng Shui for aging-in-PALACE...if you'd be interested (??)

Hi Tammie~

 

GOOD GOING! Just some planning ahead can make all the difference don't you think? I am excited about all the new (and beautiful) elements that can make a home accessible regardless of age.

janeAnne you are so very right this is a subject we will all deal with if we are lucky enough to live long enough.  Debbie and I have already downsized.  Each time we think of going bigger again we think of our future and stay in our smaller yet comfortable casa.

Hi John~

Yes! As an "older adult" I am very fond of the idea of main floor living- and elegant but functional grab bars! And, of course I'd expect nothing less from you and Debbie than the good sense to appreciate your comfortable casa.

There are a lot of things necesaary to make a home completely accessible. I built a few that a partial elements incorporated, but the price went up really fast due to space requirements.

Hi William --THANK YOU  so much!

I think you  will like it...good to share with Boomer Clients...as a quick start guide...Vol #2 will be out.....look for that in October...it goes a little more in depth.  Seems to me this can save a lot of time for real estate professionals, too.

It's a "whitepaper" so You can only get it on Kindle ..you can download it to your computer...

Than~

I would love to see a post about your experiences - including a cost analysis. As an "older adult" I am thinking I wouldn't  mind figuring out a spending plan to remodel my current home so that I can live independently so long as is possible...and a spending plan would be helpful.
