Why Age in Place When We Can Age Actively?

here are over 2,000 active adult communities, and more than 28,900 independent living communities in the US. These communities offer various amenities, services, activities, sometimes even restaurants and on-call care assistance. More and more people want to stay in their homes and keep their life as active as possible. Let us face it; we are all getting older. I look at my friends, my family, my coworkers, the customers that call into HandiProducts®, and realize that story is being lived every day. HandiProducts’® CEO Thom Disch is diligent about taking 10,000+ steps daily, my 80-year-old aunt that seems never to sit still, my friends that are riding their bicycles 15 miles a day to the ones riding their motorcycles hundreds of miles in a weekend, and the customers that call BEFORE a fall happens that can impair their active lifestyle. Take a moment and reflect on what you enjoy doing to keep active? My activity is riding my motorcycle to new places and hiking around the area, exploring nature’s marvels. I slipped on wet hardwood, fractured two ribs, and nearly missed out on a season of riding and hiking. My injury was minor compared to some slips and trips. How would a slip, trip, or fall injury impact your activity?
