    This reminds me and my husband of the steps we've taken to "baby proof" our home for our grandson who is now a toddler. It is much the same idea, but for older adults, and something we'd like to help my mother-in-law help implement in her home. While she is in her mid-80's, she still wantss to remain in the home we grew up in for as long as p[ossible. She is in good health, but many of these steps will help make her life easier and safer. Thanks for the great ideas!

    Good article. I teach a seminar called Aging 101, which deals with how to stay in your home IF you ae arrange transportation. I love in TX. Here you need a car to get to the corner drugstore, let alone the physician's office. Funny how people take all these retirement courses, but never look at the real issues of retirement, which are how to get where you need to go, and where will you live. Boomers need lots of education!

    Excellent Summary article . . . would only add the need to consider a walk in shower on the ground floor with handicapped access as an important addition to your list and maybe carpeting the bathroom . . . apparently 30% of seniors end up going to assisted living or nursing homes because of falls and the bathroom is one of the prime trouble spots - Keep up the good work.

    What an excellent article. I write for a couple local senior publications as a Certified Aging in Place remodeler and I've done alot pertaining to equipment and techniques available but never really zoned in on specific areas as almost a to do list list you've created,very nice. Just found Gilberts list and I can't beleive the amount of valuable information on here, I will be looking to advertise soon...Thank You
