Boost your staying power!  This lively new handbook helps families face the challenges of aging by empowering people to make their homes safer, more comfortable and livable, by themselves or with help from friends, family members and professionals. It's "sensible, useful, comprehensive and engagingly written," says Paula Span of The New York Times.  This practical, problem-solving guide is the first to combine the latest insights into aging with expert-approved, easy-to-follow advice. Written in a clear, conversational style by an award-wining health writer, this book can help anyone to easily customize furnishings, layout and decor without breaking your back or your budget. Learn how to communicate about this sensitive topic, assess situations and plan ahead, and locate helpful resources. Whether you're planning ahead, ready to act, or helping someone else, learn about the changes of normal aging -- and how to make any type of house, apartment or condo a safer, more supportive home for years to come. Lists hundreds of valuable U.S. and Canadian resources and handy to-do checklists and shopping lists to kick-start age-proofing projects. Also promotes mind-and-body fitness to help people use their homes to build the essential physical capacity to stay independent, too. The author has an M.A. in journalism and graduate credentials in Aging and in Public Health. She's a baby boomer who already puts friction tape on the stairs.
