The Mission of Aging in Place Real Estate & Consulting is to help the mature homeowner live independently in their
present home or potential home regardless of injury, illness, or age-related changes. By integrating the best
practice policies of Occupational Therapy and Real Estate, Aging in Place Real Estate & Consulting will provide a
service continuum that will increase the quality of life of its Clients, one home at a time.
MISSION STATEMENT
First
Assess the Person to determine their performance capacity.
Second
Assess the Environment to identify features and characteristics of a home that affect independent living skills.
Third
Evaluate the Client functioning in their environment to determine Participation.
The Performance-Environment- Participation Evaluation Process
Performance is affected by an individual’s
Cognition
ROM
Strength
Balance
Sensation
Coordination
Pain Management
PERFORMANCE
The Home Environment is characterized by it’s
Location
Entrances
Size of rooms
Width of hallways
Stairs
Number of levels
Type of bathing facility
Access to laundry facility
Location of storage
ENVIRONMENT
Participation is the interaction of the person and their environment.
This step is crucial.
By completing a performance-based evaluation, the OT can accurately identify what specifically is the barrier to
function for this person in this environment.
And Barrier identification is key.
PARTICIPATION
Once the barrier is accurately identified, then Aging in Place can move forward with making
recommendations to reduce or eliminate the barrier.
This might include adaptive equipment, home modification, training in new and different
techniques, recognizing the need for caregiver assistance or relocating to a different property all
together that supports independent living.
And that is not code for nursing home.
BARRIER REDUCTION
Because nursing homes have barriers, too.
I wish I could promise that by partnering with Aging in Place nursing home care would never have to
become an option. But I can’t.
But what I can promise, is that you have the will, I’ll search for the way to support you staying in your
own home for as long as possible.
And when I say support, I hope you hear the word Change.
A hallmark of successful aging is the ability to adapt.
Lawton’s theory of environmental press and performance gives the professional OT a goal of
achieving participation that falls into an “optimal” range. When the person and environment match , safe and independent completion of activities of
daily living and home management can be expected. The status quo can continue.
But if the Person has had health conditions that impair strength, balance or pain, then the basement steps may now be a problem.
Hence, something has to change.
GETTING A GOOD FIT
The uniquely personal relationship an individual has with their home
The rich history the client has with their property
The functional independence that homeownership supports
The pride and dignity associated with owning and maintaining personal property
The Role of Occupational Therapy in assessing a property’s value according to a PERSON-ENVIRONMENT FIT
AGING IN PLACE VALUES…..
The Art & Science of Independent Living
Supporting independent living at every age, at every stage
Aging in Place Real Estate LIKES Independent Living
Home Safe Home
How many times did we tell our kids to be careful?
Independence. It’s worth fighting for!
Don’t Move, Be Happy
The anti-agent
Modify or Move…That is the question.
Don’t sell your home until you’re damn good and ready
The Aging process doesn’t come with directions and timelines. Let Aging in Place Real Estate take out some of the guesswork.
Tomorrow’s Independent Living starts Today
MOTTO
First and foremost, you can expect a Real Estate experience that is Client-Centered. An initial consultation may take 2-3 hours, depending upon the customer’s wants and needs. We need to know you. What motivates you? What frightens you? What overwhelms you? What
irritates you?
If buying a home is in your future then let’s start talking about what where you want to live, your plans for the future, activities that affect your daily routine, how physically active are
you and how much maintenance do you want to assume.
If selling is in your future, then let’s take a look at the market and see what the CMA Comparable market analysis tells us. This will show what other homes in the area have sold for in the last six months, and generally reflect the value you might expect a future buyer to
see in yours.
If wanting to stay put is your heart’s desire, then we should really talk. Aging in Place wants to partner with you to supports safe and independent living and be the real estate
agent you call when it’s time to transition.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
The value of partnering with Aging in Place Real Estate is that the customer will know how sincerely invested Aging
in Place is in them long before it’s time to sell their house. Keeping older adults living safely and independently in
their own homes is the company’s calling.
