Welcome to Aging Issues Radio with Joe Soricelli, the station that addresses the challenges of aging and provides valuable advice and education for seniors. In this episode, I discuss the important topic of housing for older adults. I explore three fundamental questions that seniors often face: Should they stay and age in place, sell and consider alternative living arrangements such as assisted living facilities, or living with their children? Additionally, I delve into the safety and financial considerations involved in providing necessary assistance as seniors age.

I emphasize the significance of assessing the safety of one's current house, such as stairs as a potential hazard. I suggest modifications like chair lifts or elevators to ensure accessibility. While these changes can be costly, they can significantly extend the time seniors can stay in their homes.

I also address the emotional and logistical challenges associated with downsizing and moving, providing insights into stress management and the use of professional services like move managers and junk removal services to facilitate the transition.

Tune in to this informative episode to gain practical insights and guidance on making housing decisions as you age.
