Hi, your husband sounds like mine, I would love to move where there are no stairs to deal with. We have 3 bedrooms and a bath and a half. Since he is a lung cancer survivor and I have COPD we have moved to the downstairs bedroom. But
he has his workshop down in the basement and isn't willing to give that up which I get. it keeps him busy at 78 but at times he has fallen and its up to me to help him up which is getting harder and harder. So I understand you 100 percent

@ireland123 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect ! I’m glad you’re here.

We have a two story house and my husband also didn't want to move. I ended up putting a stair lift for him to get upstairs in. I also added a shower chair in one of the bathrooms so he doesn't fall in the shower.
