Aging doesn’t have to mean moving. Some older Americans choose to age in place, rather than moving. A home with stairs in it isn’t a bad thing. Walking up and down stairs is great exercise. In fact, some people go to the gym and use stair stepper and climber equipment to strengthen their legs.
Stairways can be kept safe with lighting, and railings. no slip strips can be put on indoor or outdoor stairways.
I read an article that states that 66% of ninety-year-olds have trouble with stairs. That means that 34% of 90-year-olds can handle the stairs. Taking the stairs whenever possible at home or work is a great way to keep legs strong for those who want to be in the 34%.
