Creating an “Age in Place” Type of Home

Retirement doesn’t necessarily mean moving to a senior community. If you want to remain in your current home after retirement, you can actually do so as long as it is conducive and safe. Below are some tips on how to ensure a safe home.

• Change up common areas so as to keep all key living spaces on the first floor.
• Install no-slip strips on the edge of each stair.
• Make sure doorways and other tight corners are not crowded.
