20. Can I Stay Here? How to Know if Your Home Works for Aging in Place


Listen Later

If you’ve ever looked around your home and wondered, “Can I really live here long-term?” — this episode is for you.

As more adults choose to age in place, it’s essential to take an honest look at whether your current home will support that goal. In this episode, Jodi and Heather walk through a full home assessment, from front door to back yard, to help you evaluate whether staying is safe, realistic, and aligned with your lifestyle.

You’ll learn:

  • The most common red flags to watch for
  • How to evaluate layout, stairs, bathrooms, lighting, and more
  • The role of location, connection, and community access
  • How finances, lifestyle, and future health needs factor in
  • What to do when your heart says stay—but your house says otherwise

Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself or helping a loved one navigate this decision, this episode offers the clarity and confidence you need to take the next step.
