WASHINGTON - A new collaboration between AARP and Lowe’s will provide strategies and information to help make living spaces more accessible for everyone and allow older adults to stay in their homes safely and comfortably as they age. “People are living longer and they want to live their best lives at every age,” says Jo Ann Jenkins, AARP CEO. “Ageless homes that work for older adults are good for people of all ages, but most houses weren’t built to support our needs long term. The best way to continue living in the home you love is to make healthy aging improvements today that will benefit you tomorrow.” The collaboration offers information and guidance around home improvement and design techniques to support older adults and family caregivers as they reimagine their homes for the next stage of life. Seventy-seven percent of people 50 and older want to remain in their current homes as they age, according to an AARP survey, but the majority of homes do not have the features needed to support that option.
