Mom and Dad ’ s home is the place they know and where they feel secure , surrounded by the community and amenities they trust , the place where awesome memories were formed of kids growing , grandkids playing , and friends laughing .
You may be concerned about mom and dad tripping , slipping , falling , scalding themselves or struggling to catch their breath . After all , they are alone without your in person support . You want to see them thrive . Losing independence because of their home is horrifying for your parents . Imagine losing your own . Your parents deserve the best and the retirement lodge is not the best for their mental health . Research shows that staying in their own home is best for their wellbeing , provided that the home enables their independence . It is also much cheaper to update their home for accessibility compared to selling commissions and moving costs , not to mention the high monthly lodge rental costs .
Achieving your peace of mind because they ’ re safe , independent , and comfortable in their own home which they already trust , is vital . Proven upgrades can transform an existing limiting home into their forever home to thrive in independently . These upgrades also increase the home value , growing the potential inheritance instead of draining it on monthly rental .
Expert leadership is essential to transform their forever home , integrating their unique needs , constraints and environment . A comfort height toilet without proper supports , new flooring without coordinated lighting , or a bathroom renovation without flow consideration , will NOT help your parents . Neither will the occupational therapist who lacks renovations expertise or diverse solutions knowledge .
A Certified Aging in Place Specialist offers the many skills required to deliver on your desire of enabling your parents to remain independent while letting you sleep at night . You will also learn how to prepare your own forever home !
