What if preparing for the future wasn't about fear-but about freedom?

Whether you're 35 and thinking ahead, 65 and planning your next chapter, or supporting aging parents, Age in Place or Find a New Space offers a bold, refreshing roadmap for creating a life that works for you-today, tomorrow, and long into the future.

Written by occupational therapist and aging-in-place expert Carol Chiang, this inspiring and practical guide redefines what it means to grow older at home. With real-life case studies, humor, and eye-opening insights, Carol reveals how to make confident, proactive choices that preserve independence, dignity, and joy.

You'll learn:

  • Why early planning is essential-and how it gives you more freedom, not less

  • How to create beautiful, barrier-free spaces without sacrificing your style

  • What aging-in-place really costs, and how to budget smartly

  • Who to have on your "aging dream team", from designers to doctors

  • How to talk with your family about big decisions (without a meltdown)

  • And why aging well isn't about "getting by"-it's about living well, on your own terms

Perfect for individuals, caregivers, adult children, and professionals alike, this book is part handbook, part pep talk, and part toolkit-packed with checklists, home tips, and empowering questions to get you started.

Whether you're looking to thrive at home, support a loved one, or shift your mindset around aging, Age in Place or Find a New Space will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to take action.

Because growing older shouldn't be about holding on.
It should be about making room for what matters most.
