A 4-Part Guide to Futureproofing your House
If you’re a senior homeowner who plans to age independently in your own home, there are many changes, small and large, that can be made to your home to keep you safer as you age. These changes are often known as “future proofing” – futureproofing for seniors is, in essence, preparing your home to meet your future needs. Ensuring your house is modified, adapted, and adjusted so that, for the foreseeable future, it is:
- Safe
- Comfortable
- Usable
Futureproofing is how we ensure we are able to keep living independently for that much longer.
The best approach to modifying – or futurepfoofing – your home is to take things one step at a time, implementing changes gradually so that you can take them in your stride. To help you on your way, here at Ageing in Place Ireland we have put together a 4-part guide that walks you through each room of your house, giving you tips and tricks of how to avoid slips and trips.
