Ages 50-80: If your house does these 7 things, it helps BEAT AGING

Most aging-in-place advice is about you: exercise, balance, staying active. This video looks at the house instead. Whether you plan to stay in your own home or you’re helping an aging parent decide whether theirs still works, these seven tests show whether the house supports your independence or quietly works against it: moving freely through the rooms, grip, what’s outside your door, balance in the bathroom, getting help after a fall, one-level living, and lighting.
