What does this mean in terms of buying decisions and impact now and into the future? For millions of consumers who desire a comfortable retirement, that is an all-important question having to do with -

Living Comfortably and with Independence

Consumer demand indicates that people who grew up in the 60s, who have tremendous buying power today, and who seek an active lifestyle will not choose to move to â€œretirement homesâ€, but instead elect alternative solutions. Even so, in a poll taken by researchers at The Sage Companion Quarterly Magazine, many readers expressed concern that "aging-in-place" in accessible homes meant an institutional-looking undesirable atmosphere.

The idea that age-friendly homes are unattractive is a misconception. The term, â€œaging-in-placeâ€ may (unintentionally) carry a negative connotation, in the view of responders. But living comfortably in a â€œfeathered nestâ€ in a home that can work over a lifespan is like Aging-in-P a L A C E.

Aging in PaLACE -the subject of this quick start guide, means a "comfy-cozy" solution. Yes! Function, comfort, and beauty can coexist and delight - regardless of age or physical ability.
