How Long Do You Plan To Live In Your Current Home?
If you’re like the majority of Americans over the age of 45, you want to continue living in a familiar environment throughout your maturing years. According to the AARP, older homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in place, which means living in your home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level.
How Should You Modify Your Home To Make It More Comfortable?
To age in place you will probably need to modify your house as you mature to increase access and maneuverability. These modifications range from the installation of bath and shower grab bars and adjustment of countertop heights to the creation of multifunctional first floor master suites and the installation of private elevators.
When Considering Modifying Your Home Ask Yourself:
• Do I want to add a bathroom and possibly a bedroom to the main level?
• How can I make my kitchen more functional?

• How much money can I budget for this project?
• Will I need to get a home equity loan?
• Will other members of my family benefit from modifications?
• Will remodeling increase the energy efficiency of my home?
