Also available for Download Adapting a Home for Ageing - Emrys Pemberley Ormerod EPUB version.
Description & Overview
As your parent grows older, the home they love can quietly become a place of risk—stairs that feel steeper, a bathroom that seems suddenly slippery, lighting that no longer seems bright enough. This practical guide walks you through every room and every threshold, showing how thoughtful changes can prevent falls, ease daily tasks, and keep your parent living with confidence and dignity. You'll learn how to assess needs without overstepping, which modifications truly matter, and how to work with occupational therapists, builders, and local authorities to get the right help. From grab bars and non-slip flooring to smart sensors and better lighting, each chapter offers clear, jargon-free advice and checklists you can use today. Crucially, this book respects your parent's wishes and capacity, never treating them as a problem to be solved. Adapting a home is a shared journey—one that can strengthen your relationship and make daily life safer and more comfortable for everyone. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
