[quote=Anonymous]Oy, a lot of PPs don't seem to have an elderly parent or grandparent! This is what works in my grandma's home (she's 90): 1) One floor living as much as possible. Unfortunately, laundry is in the basement, so she needs to have a housekeeper come in to do the laundry for her. We are trying to convince grandma to convert the linen closet in the bathroom into a stackable washer/dryer combo. 2) Easy access to public transit and amenities. No more than a 5 minute walk. 3) No major steps to get into the house. 4) ADA compliant bathroom. Converted the tub area into a shower with a seat. 5) No slippery surfaces. She slipped on the kitchen floor (tile) once, and we are considering replacing the tile with cork. 6) Easy and fast access to doctors and hospitals. Things like a garden are nice, but really, that's a secondary to having a bathroom that's easy to use, IMO. [/quote]
