101 Small Changes to Make Everyday Life Simpler, Calmer & Less WorkYour home was set up for a younger you. It doesn’t have to stay that way.The top cupboard you’ve stopped using. The rug you step around. The chair that takes two tries to get out of. The stairs that feel darker than they used to, the laundry you carry in both arms, the housework that takes the whole morning. None of it is a big problem on its own. Together, it makes every day a little harder than it needs to be.Most of it can be fixed with small, inexpensive changes: moving things to where your hands naturally reach, brighter and smarter lighting, a few well-placed rails, furniture that’s easy to rise from, and simpler routines for cleaning, laundry and meals.

Most of the changes cost little or nothing, but a few, like grab bars or handrails, need a helper or a professional, and the book says so plainly. It won’t treat dizziness, falls or any health condition; if you’re unsteady, it tells you to talk to your doctor first. Prices and program details are typical US figures for 2026 and will vary where you live. If you work through the changes that fit your home, most readers can expect a house that’s safer, cozier and less tiring to run.Who it’s for Anyone 60 or over who wants to stay comfortably in their own home People who find the kitchen, stairs, bathroom or housework harder than they used to Adult children looking for practical ways to help a parent at home Anyone who wants a cozier home without a big budget or a big project Who it’s not for People planning a full renovation or a move to assisted living Anyone looking for medical advice or rehabilitation exercises Professionals who need building codes or detailed specifications About ClaraClara Rowe is the voice of ClaraRoweEbook: plain-spoken guidance about home life after 60, cozy, budget-friendly decorating and the small practical changes that make everyday life easier.
