--> By 2030, almost 25% of the national population will be retirement-aged. The greying of Canada’s population means there will soon be more adults aged 65+, most of whom will require caregiving and support. The majority of this population want to stay in their current home and community as they grow older. Unfortunately, this is not always an option for those whose homes are not adequately equipped. --> With age, needs change, and mobility often becomes a concern. Simple tasks like doing the laundry may become daunting challenges. Seniors may be tempted to sell their home and move into a retirement community, but this transition can be expensive and emotionally stressful. Consideration can be given to proactive solutions to optimize a home’s functionality, such as adding ramps, stair lifts, and grab bars; or widening doorways and renovating the most important rooms in the home to make them more accessible. -->
