Florida is a top retirement destination, but its climate and geography create important aging-in-place concerns.
Key considerations include:
Hurricane risks requiring home safety upgrades and emergency planning
Extreme heat and humidity, requiring reliable cooling and hydration strategies
Rapid population growth, increasing competition for affordable senior housing
Slip-and-fall risks during wet seasons on walkways and driveways
Here are some of our most helpful checklists for those who want to age in place confidently:
Bathroom Safety Checklist
Make bathrooms safer with anti-slip surfaces and sturdy grab bars — essential during Florida’s humid months.
Fall Prevention Checklist
Eliminate indoor and outdoor trip hazards, especially where tile floors or slippery patios are common.
Emergency Preparedness Checklist
Prepare for hurricanes, tropical storms, and power outages typical in Florida’s storm season.
Decluttering & Downsizing Checklist
Declutter garages, Florida rooms, and storage areas to simplify maintenance and improve safety.
In-Home Care Checklist
Plan for in-home care solutions across Florida’s busy metro areas and retirement communities.
