Aging in Place

Many seniors want to remain in their current homes.

The first step is to schedule an evaluation of your needs and the home that you live in.

Take the first step towards Aging in Place.

To evaluate your home, a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) from my team will walk through your home.

1. Assessing the home

First, my team will decide if your current home can be modified to fit your needs. Then, they will discuss the necessary changes to make your home accessible. For example, some homes may need wider doorways to fit a walker through, or new flooring because the current carpet is too plush to maneuver a wheelchair easily.

2. Obtain Quotes

We will work with your budget to navigate the cost of making changes, whether you’re adding a ramp to an entrance, placing grab bars in a shower, or installing better lighting throughout your home.

3. Hire Contractors

They will determine what type of contractors are needed to make the necessary improvements to your home — an engineer, plumber, electrician, designer, or otherwise. We have connections to preferred contractors who have previously worked with us and have proven that they are reputable.

Follow Up

After completing a remodel, we will schedule a meeting with you in your home to do a walk-through to ensure you are happy, safe, and comfortable in your home. If there are any additional concerns, this is the time to address them.

Second Step to Our Process

The second step is to determine what home services are needed to help you stay in your home.

Home-based care includes health, personal, and other support services to help you stay at home and live as independently as possible.

In many cases, home-based support is provided in your home by informal caregivers, such as family members, friends, and neighbors. Home-based support can also be supplemented by formal caregivers, Adult Day Care, and community services.

Help you can receive at home includes:

  • Personal Care: Help with everyday activities, also called “activities of daily living,” including bathing, dressing, grooming, using the toilet, eating, and moving around — for example, getting out of bed and into a chair.

  • Household Chores: Housecleaning, yard work, grocery shopping, laundry, and similar chores around the house.

  • Meals: Shopping for food and preparing nutritious meals.

  • Health Care: Help with many aspects of health care, including giving medications, caring for wounds, helping with medical equipment, and providing physical therapy.

  • Transportation: Assistance getting around, such as rides to the doctor’s office or grocery store.
