8-1-26: HERITAGE HOME SOLUTIONS, Alan Norton

What Does “Aging in Place” actually mean — and when does it stop being realistic?Aging in place simply means staying in your own home as you get older, with the right support — it’s not an all-or-nothing choice. But sometimes the home itself starts working against you: stairs become a fall risk, upkeep piles up, or help just isn’t nearby. The goal isn’t to talk anyone out of their home — it’s to help families notice honestly when the home has stopped fitting the life.Alan Norton (pictured left) founded Heritage Home Solutions to help seniors across the OKC metro — Edmond, Yukon, Norman, and Midwest City.At the Oklahoma Senior Journal, we vet everyone that airs on the OSJ radio show, appears in the Oklahoma Senior Journal, and on OSJ digital media. You can depend on who we refer to the 50+, their adult children, family, and professional caregivers.One question Alan answers on this week’s OSJ Radio Hour: what are the warning signs that a home isn’t a good fit for someone anymore?Common signs include struggling with stairs, a yard or repairs, or isolation. None of this reflects poorly on the person — homes are built for a season of life, and needs simply shift over time. Naming these signs early gives families options instead of a crisis decision later.Alan Norton, is a fourth-generation Oklahoman born and raised in Oklahoma City.
