Good read but do not forget about the cost of long term care at home. "Aging in Place" needs to accommodate both home care (when the time comes) and sufficient tools for the home care giver. Wide hallways, grab bars etc are a great start. Consider products that help caregivers and family monitor and understand what is happening in home when a senior is alone. (AKA "Activities of Daily Living". If the senior is not performing fundamental ADL's notifications are sent out to family and caregivers. In the end these products will allow caregivers and family to provide more effective care, identify when more care is needed and reduce the overall cost of care. - Dan Stone www.assuredindependence.com
