درباره این اپیزود
The majority of people age 65 and older in the U.S. want to stay in their homes as long as possible, according to numerous AARP surveys over the last decade. It’s a phenomenon known as aging in place. However, like many Coloradans, older adults struggle with increased housing costs. But they face unique challenges, like chronic health conditions and fixed incomes.
Organizations like Brothers Redevelopment and Silver Key Senior Services are working to address these challenges. Jeff Martinez, founder and president of Brothers Redevelopment, discusses the importance of home improvements for older adults who stay in their homes, and Jason DeaBueno, CEO of Silver Key Senior Services, explores holistic approaches to keep older adults housed and financially solvent. For people who own their homes and have a room to spare, Sunshine Home Share Colorado pairs them with people looking for affordable rent. Founder and executive director Alison Joucovsky explains how home shares solve two housing needs at once without building anything—other than relationships.
