The Stay-at-Home Plan

Description

Stay in the home you love, safely, for years to come. The Stay-at-Home Plan is a builder’s room-by-room guide to aging in place, for older homeowners and their grown children.

What’s inside

• 90 things to check across 8 areas of the house, each with the fix right under it
• Why each one matters, what to fix now, and what to plan for later
• Rough costs for each fix, and who does it: you, a handyman or a contractor
• Questions to ask before you hire, and how to find a contractor trained in aging-in-place work
• The big decisions: one-floor living, a step-free entry, lifts, and whether to stay, renovate or move
• Ways to help pay for it: VA, USDA, Medicaid, local programs and tax rules
• Fill-in pages: your priority list, budget, contractor comparison, hidden controls map and who-to-call list

BONUS: The Home Lift Planning Guide ($17 value)
