Age-Proof Homes: Making Aging At Home Comfortable & Safe

Du Charme Wealth Management Podcast

Are you prepared to safeguard the well-being and independence of your aging loved ones? Join us as we sit down with Blake Watson, the visionary behind Age Proof Homes, who pivoted from a successful financial career to become a champion for aging in place. Blake shares his compelling journey and details the vital importance of adapting homes to ensure safety and mobility for elderly individuals, especially in retirement communities like St. George. From personalized modifications that adhere to ADA guidelines to the transformative impact these changes can have, Blake provides invaluable insights into creating safer, more accessible living environments for seniors.
Discover the hidden dangers lurking in our homes, particularly in bathrooms where hazards like slippery floors and high tub walls pose significant risks. Blake sheds light on practical and often simple solutions such as installing grab bars, enhancing lighting, and managing flooring transitions to prevent accidents. We dive into the principles of universal design, illustrating how thoughtful home modifications not only improve safety but also maintain the aesthetic and functionality of living spaces. With Blake's expertise, you'll learn how to transform your home into a sanctuary that supports independence and enhances quality of life for aging residents.
