As a founding member, I'm honored to be a contributing author to the National Aging in Place Council's upcoming book, Housing Pillar, releasing in October 2026.
My chapter, "The Aging in Place Market Is Rapidly Changing Due to the Advances in High Tech," explores how AI, smart home technology, telehealth, predictive remote health monitoring, and connected home systems are transforming the future of independent living and Aging in Place technology.
As the award-winning author of "Age in Place at Home" and President of T-Square Company located in Austin, Texas, as well as a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS), I've spent more than 30 years helping homeowners create safer, healthier, and more accessible homes. During that time, I've watched aging in place evolve from simple home modifications like ramps and lever door handles to intelligent living environments where housing, healthcare, and technology work together to support independence and improve quality of life.
Whether you're a homeowner, caregiver, healthcare professional, builder, designer, or aging in place specialist, the homes we create today will shape how millions of Americans live tomorrow. This is the future of aging in place.
I'm excited to share more as we approach the October release of Housing Pillar and contribute to the conversation about the future of aging in place.
