As adults age, their executive function may change and slow down, making it harder to analyze, plan, organize, schedule, and complete tasks. Simple things, like misplacing keys or phones, losing your train of thought, or struggling to follow conversations and remember names, can become more challenging. Seniors often find that tasks take longer to complete, including learning new things. Additionally, coping with change can become difficult, leading others to perceive them as “easily frustrated.” Watch

Your Home on Steroids
A thoughtfully designed home can empower older adults to age in place by offering safety, comfort, and accessibility, enabling them to maintain their independence. Features such as step-free entryways, wide hallways, and smart home technology minimize the need for assistance. By investing in these modifications, seniors can extend their time in their own homes, preserving their autonomy. Moreover, as property values appreciate, their home can serve as an asset, potentially funding future senior living options if necessary. This approach balances immediate comfort with long-term financial security, fostering a fulfilling aging experience. Watch
