About this episode
Matt Feret discusses aging in place and home accessibility with Erica Sell, providing practical tips for maintaining independence at home.
Most people want to stay in their own homes as they age, but very few think about what it actually takes to make that possible. In this episode of The Matt Feret Show, Matt sits down with Erica Sell, Founder of Harmony Home Medical, to discuss aging in place, home accessibility, fall prevention, caregiving, and the smart modifications that can help older adults maintain their independence longer. Erica shares practical advice on preventing falls, creating dementia-friendly living spaces, planning home renovations with accessibility in mind, and avoiding costly mistakes that many families make when mobility needs suddenly arise. She also explains how caregivers can reduce physical strain, what technologies are changing the future of aging at home, and why small changes made today can save families significant stress, expense, and disruption later. Whether you're planning for yourself, helping aging parents, or navigating caregiving responsibilities, this conversation offers valuable insights into creating a safer, more comfortable future at home.
