Problems Growing Old in the Suburbs

Housing

This thought provoking article in The Herald, a South Carolina newspaper, is about Boomers being in denial when they think about aging in place if that place is a home in the suburbs. But this issue affects many parents of Boomers, too, who are currently in that situation. There are three major problems: transportation, accessibility (climbing stairs may be problematic, wheelchairs may be necessary), and social isolation.

Are you thinking of growing old in the suburbs? How will you deal with these issues?
