Customer Reviews

As a Boomer I loved her practicality
with a two-story, older home in Sausalito, I User her book and Universal Design for the Home and Retirement Living by Design to map out a five year plan to help me stay in the home I love. All were very specific and thus helpful. See http://healthyairathome.blogspot.com/2008/10/age-in-place-living-well-in-home-you.html

Good but simple
This is a small little book written in simple terms. Great little resource with lots of ideas touching on many parts of aging in place.
