Preparing for my Mother

I picked up this audiobook, to prepare for my mother moving in with me. She is aging and it is getting harder and harder for her to do things on her own. This book was super helpful to help me get a better understanding of what she may need. The author does a fantastic job of breaking down how to design a home that's not only comfortable but also adaptable for any age or ability. The book dives into the nitty-gritty of universal design, making it clear why it's important and how it can make things so much easier as we (or your loved ones) age. It's filled with practical advice, from renovating your current space to incorporating the latest tech for home automation. It's all about making your home safe and independent, without sacrificing style or comfort. What really stood out to me was the section on financial resources available for aging in place. I don’t have a lot of money to spend, but want to make my mother as comfortable as possible, so it was especially helpful to help figure out how to make these changes without breaking the bank. Whether you're thinking about your own future or helping a loved one, this book is a must-listen. It's not just about building a house; it's about creating a lifelong home that adapts to your needs. Totally recommend giving it a listen.
