Home Retirement by Home Ideations
With Universal Design Principles
Retirement success is all about smart, proactive planning and early action.
We’re living longer, but with a fraction of the family support our parents and grandparents enjoyed when Boomers were young. That makes for significantly bigger challenges and most are discovering it far too late in life to do anything about it. There are key tactics to put in play early, MUCH EARLIER than most realize.
Scott Fulton
We developed the Pillars of Home Based Longevity as a tool to help guide older adults along the retirement path of their dreams. Call it Aging in Place, Aging with Grace, Thriving or Home-Based Retirement, they’re all just labels. What matters is that you have a realistic plan that shields you from crises many face with aging.

Steps For Retiring Comfortably
Finance
Wealth preservation is the aspiration of everyone, but it’s a complex mine field in retirement years. While busy watching pennies, life has a habit of bowling us over and snatching our savings at unprecedented rates. Financial planners will sell you insurance, but the rest is up to you.
Social
Health
There are several proactive steps that will help maintain overall well-being and happiness, and put you on a path for a thriving lifestyle that your friends will envy. Whether you want to get fitter and healthier than you’ve been in years, or needing help planning a future care strategy, there are many options available to suit your needs.
Environment
The home plays a central role in supporting your retirement dream. We’ll develop a plan with you that offers an inviting and secure lifestyle for years to come. We’ll show you how to incorporate beautiful accessibility into natural, universal designs that pay for themselves in months. Your only regret will be that you didn’t call us sooner.

You don’t have to move or give up the second floor of your home. Install a personal lift between the main and second floor for easy transfer for people, laundry and other home items.

We don’t sell these, but we’re happy to help you locate the right lift for you.
