Stairs in Aging

Explorer Rich asks the group whether or not to plan to age in a place that has stairs. Some members raise the 'pros': Exercise may help longevity Stimulates the brain Sense of independence in 'younger' old age can always install a stair lift Others point out the 'cons': Disabilities of age prohibit use of stairs Carrying groceries and items on stairs not feasible Conclusion: Give thought to whether stairs are for you. They become a big issue as you get older.
