People Would Rather Plan for Their Death Than for Living At Home as They Age

We can talk about death and plan for it. Planning for a home that you can live in comfortably as an older person? That's another matter.

    BLOOMFIELD, CT, October 26, 2009 /Architecture PR News/ -- Search online for 'planning for your death' and you'll find hundreds of websites that discuss pre-planning a funeral or preparing a will. We even found a post outlining how to share your obituary with your online friends.

Death is a concept that is understood in all its finality. Everyone dies. We can talk about it and plan for it. Planning for a home that you can live in comfortably as an older person? That's another matter. People envision themselves living as they are now or dying. There's very little planning for the stages in between.

"Public opinion in the aggregate may decree that the average person becomes old at age 68, but you won't get too far trying to convince people at that age that the threshold applies to them" according to "Growing Old In America: Expectations vs. Reality" a study by The Pew Research Center released in June 2009.

"It's hard to imagine having difficulties moving around in your home until the day it happens to you," says Andrea Tannenbaum, President of Dynamic Living Inc.
"That makes it difficult for seniors to see what they need to include in their retirement remodeling plans."

AdaptMy.com helps people prepare for this new stage in their lives. There are ideas for home improvement in every room, including accessible kitchens, bathrooms and entrances. The website encourages exploration, providing ideas and guidelines to help the planning process. For example, ready-to-assemble furniture is included to expand storage opportunities in the bedroom as well as making a home office more comfortable.

"We believe that people can make this stage in their life something to look forward to by creating a good looking environment they can be comfortable in for a long time," says Ms. Tannenbaum.
