Data from AARP indicates a large majority of adults over 50 want to stay in their current homes. This desire for autonomy shows a need for practical planning tools. A significant gap often exists between this goal and the current state of most housing.
Many U.S. homes lack features that support aging in place, such as step-free entryways or accessible bathrooms. This lack of preparation can create challenges for long-term residency. The Boomers Magic guide outlines manageable steps for home modifications to address these issues.
The publication details important home modifications, with a focus on bathroom safety. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies falls as a leading cause of injury for older adults, with bathrooms being a high-risk area. The guide explains the value of installing features like anchored grab bars and walk-in showers to improve safety.
The guide also covers financial planning, providing information on the typical costs of these updates. The average cost for home modifications can range from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on the project's scope. This spending can support long-term independence and quality of life.
For proper installation, the guide offers information on finding qualified professionals. It discusses Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS), who receive training from the National Association of Home Builders. CAPS professionals are equipped to perform renovations that improve home accessibility and safety.
In addition to structural changes, the guide includes information on smart home technology. It covers devices like voice-controlled assistants, automated lighting, and health monitoring systems that can support daily living. This technology offers another layer of assistance for independence and security.
Boomers Magic is a peer-driven resource created by Baby Boomers for their contemporaries. The company's mission is to provide practical, researched guidance for aging in place. It focuses on delivering information that helps individuals make informed decisions about their future.
