Ep. 40 | Enjoying Your Golden Years from the Comfort of Your Own Home

"The stairs are getting so hard to climb." "Since my wife died, I just open a can of soup for dinner." "I've lived here 40 years. No other place will seem like home." These are issues so commonly experienced by our aging population. You may share the often-heard wish — "I want to stay in my own home," or rather the common fear — "I don't want to end up in a retirement home." The good news is, is that with the right preparation and professional assistance, you are more likely to be able to live out your days in one of your most precious investments; your home. Join us this week as we discuss the ins and outs of what it takes to stay in your own home as you age, otherwise referred to as "aging in place." We're here to share with you how to go about finding the help you need to continue to live independently, as well as some adjustments you can begin to consider making to your home to make it more suitable to live in throughout your golden years. — Show Notes: Julie's Uplifting Story of the Week: https://www.guideposts.org/caregiving/family-caregiving/aging-parents/how-to-pray-for-your-aging-parents Inga's Uplifting Story of the Week: https://www.upworthy.com/antique-store-owner-stunned-by-mystery-piano-player-found-him-and-gave-him-the-instrument Watch the Video: https://youtu.be/ouuuFOlVEyE Read More: https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/aging-place-growing-older-home Follow Inga & Julie!
