THE CONCEPT OF AGING IN PLACE ISN'T NEW,
BUT IT'S BECOME A MUCH HIGHER PRIORITY
FOR MANY PEOPLE IN RECENT TIMES.
owner and general manager of The Access
Store, which specializes in products and
services designed to make homes and
commercial buildings more accessible.
Tweed says the concept of aging in place isn't
new, but it's become a much higher priority for
many people in recent times.
"Aging in place has always been an issue,
but in the last several years it's become
more identified and talked about. It's much more prevalent and
everybody is discussing it," says Tweed, who opened his Keewatin
Street business more than 20 years ago.
"An older person who is still active and able to be independent
wants to stay in their own home. They have no intention of moving
unless there's a serious health issue. What's happening now is
because of more savvy consumers and because of education,
people are more aware and starting to look at options on how they
can remain in their home longer by making it more accessible."
