Who would\u2019ve thought older adults would adapt to the many changes in retirement and elder care by simply staying put?<\/h2>\n

Thanks to medical advances and the reduction of diseases that often led to mortality among older Americans, U.S. life expectancy has increased dramatically over the last half a century. Americans today live 79 years on average, up from 68 years in 1950. And while lifespans increased, the traditional family structure underwent its own sort of transformation. Many families shifted away from the \u201cpyramid\u201d shape \u2014\u00a0 in which each generation remained close to home and tended to have more children than the last \u2014 to the modern \u201cbeanpole\u201d shape \u2014\u00a0referring to those who retain strong generational bonds, but are spread out across the country, or even the world. Factor in the increasing number of older adults who are working well into their 70s and even 80s, and it\u2019s no surprise that <\/span>aging in place <\/b>has become an attractive option to many older adults.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAging in place\u201d is a term used to describe the ability to live in one’s own home and community safely and independently, even as circumstances change. <\/span>The vast majority of older adults (90 percent) say they want to <\/span>stay in their own homes<\/span> as they age, according to a recent survey from AARP<\/a>. \u00a0Even among those who need a <\/span>caregiver\u2019s<\/b> assistance or ongoing <\/span>home health care,<\/b><\/a> 82 percent said they\u2019d still prefer to stay in their homes, rather than moving to an assisted living facility. Baby Boomers, who prize their ability to remain active and independent, are among the many older adults who value the comfort and convenience of staying in their own homes they mature. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet thinking about getting older can be daunting, and in some families, talking about mortality and aging still remains taboo. However, preemptively making changes to your home long before mobility or functionality becomes an issue can help you and your family be prepared down the line. If and when medical issue do arise, it\u2019s generally not an ideal time to make home improvements. <\/span><\/p>\n

You might still be unsure about aging in place, it\u2019s worth looking into. Even for individuals who remain healthy overall, the natural aging process can decrease flexibility and balance. At some point, most older adults benefit from small home modifications<\/a>, like grab bars and accessible fixtures and appliances. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many modifications that allow for older adults to stay in their homes are aligned with universal design principles. Adding grab bars in the shower, lever-style door handles or motion sensor lighting, for instance, are simple modifications that <\/span>run under $100 each<\/span> and appeal to homeowners of all ages. To start, check out a <\/span>room-by-room<\/span><\/a> guide to aging in place. <\/span><\/p>\n

Down the line, m<\/span>odifying your home to age in place may require more extensive changes, like building a stair lift or accessibility ramp. It\u2019s crucial to start careful planning early and work with a professional certified by the <\/span>National Age in Place Council<\/span><\/a>. Last week I had the opportunity to visit with \u00a0two outstanding certified aging in place remodelers right here in the Chicagoland area, and each offers estimates and bring insight and expertise to the job. <\/span><\/p>\n
