Age With Confidence and Control
9/10
Adults want to stay in their home as they age, yet only 6% of housing is suitable to support aging at home. Home modifications are a primary key to successfully age in place.
Chronic Disease
95% of adults 60 and older have at least one chronic condition, and nearly 80% have two or more leading to increased risk for hospitalization and decreased independence and quality of life. Lifestyle modifications can prevent, treat, and reverse chronic conditions.
Falls
Are the leading cause of injury and injury-related death for adults over the age of 65. 60% of falls occur in the home. Preventative solutions can often be low-cost with high impact. Check your fall risk here.

Our signature coaching program empowers you to develop sustainable habits that promote wellness and longevity centered on the six pillars of lifestyle medicine so you can age with confidence and control.
What We Do
At Health In Habit, we are dedicated to empowering forward-thinking adults with real solutions to help themselves or a loved one age with confidence and independence.
I’m Aaron Anderson, occupational therapist and owner of Health In Habit. I focus on bringing my knowledge and skills to create a positive narrative on aging that’s focused on wellness and prevention so that staying healthy and independent as you age isn’t a vague hope but an enjoyable lifestyle.
The Problem
Let’s face it. The status quo is not working. Traditional homes are not designed with older adults in mind. 90% of adults want to remain in their homes as they age, yet only 6% of homes are set up to support this. Features like a zero-step entrance, wider doorways to accommodate mobility devices, adequate lighting.
What’s more, our healthcare system is reactive instead of proactive. It’s set up for disease management rather than helping people develop the skills and knowledge to take charge of their own health.
Where does this leave us? Falls are the leading cause of injury and injury-related death among adults 65 and older. Chronic diseases account for 90% of healthcare costs and older adults are disproportionately affected by chronic disease. Nearly 95% of adults 60 and older have at least one chronic condition, while nearly 80% have two or more.
Poor habits are inflicting unprecedented harm on global health and society with 80% of deaths worldwide now attributed to 4 disease categories linked to lifestyle habits: cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease, and diabetes.
The Solution
I started Health In Habit because I was tired of band-aid solutions to the problems that older adults and their loved ones face.
You deserve better!
Aging in place is about much more than installing grab bars. It’s about your lifestyle habits, the setup of your home, your social support system. Everyone is different. That’s why we empower you to develop a personalized plan that considers your unique needs, health status, and goals.
We love collaborating with our clients to develop solutions to help you or a loved one age in place so that you not only have a safe and functional home, but also possess the strength to get up from the floor, the support network to get help when needed, and the lifestyle habits to keep you out of the hospital now and into the future.
What do you want the last 10-20 years of your life to look like?
Let’s work together to implement a plan that will enable you to stay home. To stay healthy. To stay engaged with loved ones, your community, and the activities you love to do.
Let’s create Health In Habit.
