What plans are you making to age at home?

@alive, @colleenyoung, and all...Congratulations on addressing this elephant in all our lives. You are blessed to have each other for making decisions and companionship. I live alone with my kitty. 2 story condo, 3 BR,2 bath upstairs, 1/2bath down. So no downstairs BR. If possible, I would be sure to set up my master BR/bath downstairs. I can't. So, I turned one small BR into a mini kitchen w/fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc. Also, added comfy furniture and TV so I have a sitting room upstairs. This helps so much when I'm recuperating from illness or hospital and need to avoid the stairs for a couple of days. It's working out well.
I'm 75, have multiple health issues and no help. Connect is one important life-line that's saving my sanity! You have already begun your journey and are ahead of the game.
Hopefully, some things you learn from this site will help you on this journey through this aging process. Fun time!
Be well, be safe a d be blessed. Elizabeth

Thank you for sharing what’s working for you! Stairs are already becoming a challenge for me, and like you - all my bedrooms and bathrooms with showers are upstairs. I like your idea of setting up a mini kitchen and a sitting area upstairs! I think a chair lift is going to be part of our plan, but I can see that your temporary set up can definitely be a short term solution.
