“The place we call home needs to be affordable, safe and accommodating. That goes double for older people. Some issues that impact choosing housing for the elderly:

  1. People want to “age in place,” not make multiple moves as health problems arise. Planning ahead makes the difference.
  2. Falls are the number one cause of death for people aged 75 and older. Simple things-- like installing railings—can prevent accidents. When seeking housing, look for these.
  3. Affordability is especially significant to retired people living on a fixed income.
  4. One caveat remains universal for those searching for housing:
    Always read a lease or contract before signing it.     And be sure to ask questions if anything is unclear.
