SeniorāFriendly in Durban? Use This Viewing Checklist (Not a Retirement Home)
When you want senior-friendly living, you are usually looking for calm, safety, and daily practicality.
You do not need an institution. You need a home base with boundaries and predictable quiet.
Three practical tips you can use immediately
1) Check for āease of livingā
Ask what makes daily life easier: clear rules, functional kitchen, reliable internet, and a predictable environment.
2) Check for ācalm cultureā
A senior-friendly home is quiet by design, not quiet by chance. No-noise standards and screening are key.
3) Check for āprivacy protectionā
A strict visitor policy protects privacy. It also reduces riskāespecially for mature adults living independently.
