This Living to 100 Club conversation takes a close look why current housing configurations do not promote longevity. What are the financial, personal, and logistical arguments for Aging in place? Our guest, Aaron Murphy, is a licensed architect. His company, Forever Home, advises developers and homeowners toward adapting homes – both new and existing – that will allow the owners to “age in place.” With these adaptations, our guest has shown that the owners can stay in their homes up to 12 years longer. This compares to downsizing or transitioning to a senior living community.

What is needed to stay in our home where it’s familiar, where our friends and enjoyment lie, and where we don’t have to start over? Why is planning the central ingredient to a successful aging in place process? Can we retain our independence, autonomy, and freedom in ways that work for the homeowner? Join us for this practical, honest look at the upsides to aging in place.

Joseph Casciani Dr. Joe Casciani

Dr. Joseph Casciani has a 35-year history in aging as a psychologist and manager of mental health practices. He was awarded the first contracts from the California Department of Aging in 1982 to develop mental health training for the state’s nursing homes. For 16 years, he was the clinical lead for a multi-state group practice for patients in nursing homes. He later ran his own multi-state company, Concept Healthcare, for 8 years.

In 2018, he extended his professional interest in aging to his new venture, the Living to 100 Club. The website, www.Livingto100.Club, offers a collection of strategies and resources on successful aging, and his weekly podcasts on aging and longevity continue in this tradition with guests who share their professional insights about aging well and making the most of our senior years. He is now a clinical consultant, public speaker, provides one-on-one counseling, and sells a package of life enriching resources to retirement communities and senior organizations.
