As a retired geriatric social worker, I'm familiar with the physical changes in the aging body.  I selected this oven because the doors open to the side, not down in front.  No bending over a hot oven door to put food in or take it out.  Heavy items are easier to remove when standing upright at any age.  Unlike tradition oven doors that pull down, young kids aren't in harms way when the top oven is open.  
As an owner of other Bosch appliances, all of them high quality, this is the best.  The racks are sturdy and plentiful and the doors are hefty.
