The New 'Age In Place' Trend Offers Good Advice

As an article in the Pittsburgh, Pa. Post Gazette states the aging baby boomer generation is “…giving rise to an army of experts who are eager to help people age in place.” The article has some practical and sound advice even with respect to area rugs. To keep people who are aging, and whose reactions may not be as fast as they once were, safe they are advised to always “Secure all carpets and area rugs with double-sided tape.” But this is of course sound advice for everyone whether you use double sided tape or a good non-slip padding.
