Aging-in-place means staying safely and comfortably in your Hawaii home, regardless of age or income. It's about making your house feel like a forever "home," by remodeling various aspects such as the bathroom, kitchen and more to suit your needs as you age.
There are various benefits but here are a few worth noting:
- Cost benefits: over the long term, the cost of remodeling your home may be less than assisted living or a nursing home.
- Home equity: the real estate market in Hawaii has proven that homes increase in value. Spending your money on a remodel vs. an assisted living home will create more home equity and wealth for you and your ohana.
- Quality of life: in some situations and based on your personal preference, you may wish to stay at home as it will allow for greater independence for a longer period of time.
According to assistedliving.org, in the U.S., the senior population has grown and is expected to double from 49 million to 98 million by 2060. This means that the availability of senior housing, especially in Hawaii and Oahu, will continue to be limited. Planning to age-in-place for yourself, parents or grandparents is an investment into the future.
Please consider that the choice to age-in-place is a personal one and different for each individual and family. Other key considerations include the amount of medical care or assistance needed, safety considerations and caregiver availability.
To age in place successfully in Hawaii, you'll likely need to make some changes to your home to ensure safety, ease of access, and maneuverability, especially considering the unique challenges posed by our limited inventory of housing and older homes. These adjustments might involve:
- Installing grab bars in bathrooms and showers
- Converting your tub to a walk-in-shower
- Adjusting countertop heights
- Enhancing lighting for better visibility
- Installing new flooring to reduce trip hazards
- Widening doorways
Furthermore, Hawaii homes tend to be on smaller lots which means being creative on to utilize the footprint of the home to maximize the usability. This may mean adding an addition.
