Much has been written about our aging population and the increase in life expectancy. Families often find themselves juggling challenging careers, raising children and being the caregiver for aging parents. Never in the United States has a population as large as ours faced the daunting tasks of raising children while being the primary caregiver to aging parents.
When most seniors are asked about their preferences for housing during retirement years, they will often reply, "I want to stay in my own home." There are many benefits to seniors continuing to live in their own home. Statistics show that when an elderly person lives in their own home, they stay in better health and are significantly happier than they would be in a healthcare facility. The cost of independent living is also far less than living in a healthcare facility. Much of this site is devoted to products and services which enhance independent living.
It is our hope that you will find our Home Safety Tips and Helpful Links a valuable resource. We welcome your comments. We are particularly interested in hearing about new products or services which would enhance independent living.
