Welcome to BFore Aging in Place ... foresee living independently

Small Changes - Big Impact

Aging isn’t something to fear—it’s something to foresee. At BFore Aging in Place, we believe in preparing today for the independence you want tomorrow. Whether you're planning for your own future or supporting someone you care about, our goal is to help you foresee a life of safety, confidence, and connection—right at home.


What We’re All About

This site focuses on falls prevention, independent living strategies, and a whole-health approach to aging. It’s a resource hub for older adults, their families and caregivers who value smart, practical and affordable suggestions.  Together, we’ll explore:

  • Evidence-backed home modifications to reduce fall risk
  • Lifestyle choices that promote mobility, balance, and wellbeing
  • Tools and tips for those supporting aging in place


Why “Fore”?

We chose “Fore” because it reflects our mindset: to anticipate, prevent, and empower. We look forward to what’s possible when aging is approached thoughtfully—not reactively. It’s about foreseeing change and embracing it, with practical planning and holistic support.

At BFore, we believe that independence begins with foresight.


What You Can Expect

This space will offer:

  • Fall prevention guidance tailored for every corner of the home and life
  • Recommendations that prioritize your whole health and wellbeing
  • Cost effect solutions you can implement quickly and conveniently to remain independent and at home for as long as you choose
