There's No Place Like Home

Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz said it best; "There's no place like home." More and more people are trying to decide whether to stay in their own home or move to a retirement community.

Before making a move, it is crucial to look at all the facts associated with such an important decision. How will it affect your health? Do people really live happier more fulfilled lives when they leave their homes? Is moving to  a retirement facility the most cost effective option?

These are all important questions that need to be answered before you make a move that will dramatically affect your life and well-being. I found an excellent article that gives 9 reasons to stay in your home as you get older. Here is the link. http://caregiverrelief.com/nine-reasons-to-stay-in-your-home-as-you-age/

I have recently partnered with a local company that specializes in giving people the extra support they need to remain in their own homes. Their services combined with my Posture Perfect! classes make it possible for you to continue to enjoy the comfort of your own home as you get older. 

Over the coming weeks, watch for more articles on this topic as well as a free workshop series entitled There's No Place Like Home.
