Cherie and Len
*This is a fictional case study and character(s) based on a variety of real situations.
Cherie and Len are a couple in their mid 70s. They live in a beautiful waterfront house in Halfmoon Bay. They love their home and they had it constructed perfectly for their lifestyle when they were in their 30’s and for when they were bringing up their kids. Now the house and its upkeep are starting to feel like hard work, particularly as Cherie suffers from chronic pain related to fibromyalgia, and Len’s hip is starting to bother him more and more over the years. They were determined to stay in their beloved house for as long as possible into their older years, but they knew they had to make some changes if that was going to happen.
