Help! I’m Ageing Podcast explores: How Do I Stay in My Home for Longer?
We may want to age at home, but most people haven't planned for it. What can you put in place today, before a single fall takes that option away?
Help! I’m Ageing. Ageing Well. Living Well. is answering the big questions about getting older, with real evidence, real stories, and honest conversations.
In this latest episode, How Do I Stay in My Home for Longer? our co-hosts, Tracy Parish and Dr Taya Collyer talk with Associate Professor Libby Callaway, a senior occupational therapist and lead researcher, about how older Australians can live and age well at home, for longer.
“One thing my husband and I have done before retiring is to think about the things that we need done to our house while we’re still earning money. And I think it would be really good for people to do that, people who want to be independent and stay in their own home.” – LYNETTE |
