Not only do you want to age safely in your home, but you should want to thrive in your home! What is the difference you ask? In my opinion, it means you make specific adjustments to your property for things you enjoy doing and want to continue doing for as long as possible. For example, do you love to sew and knit? Then enhance lighting around the areas you spend doing your hobby. Or do you like to cook and entertain? Then you may want to make modifications to your counter top heights and install cabinet shelving that is easy to push and pull.
You must also address your overall safety throughout the property. This could be as simple as installing sensor lighting and removing area rugs to switching out tub/shower to a walk-in shower and placing grab bars along stairs and seated areas.

When you're ready to make a move, make sure you hire a qualified Realtor that specializes with seniors, like myself. They have the resources and desire to help you with your needs.
