Age in Place with the Help of a Renovation
Tuesday, September 24th, 2013
So you are in your dream home, and have enjoyed a number of good years there, experiencing the life you always dreamed of.
Unfortunately, your health is no longer what it used to be, and you are increasingly finding that this dream home is a source of frustration rather than enjoyment.
This does not mean that you have to face the nightmare of moving, downsizing, and leaving your dream home behind. Instead, with the assistance of an
Aging-In-Place Specialist, your home can undergo a
high end renovation which will allow you to live there, in comfort and convenience, for the rest of your lives.
So what is an Aging-In-Place Specialist? The
National Association of Home Builders created a program to teach contractors and home builders how to create, or renovate, homes so that they will meet both the current and anticipated future needs of homeowners. Experienced Aging-In-Place builders help their customers stay safely in their homes, independently and comfortably, no matter what their age or level of abilities. With everything from wider doorways and ramped transitions between rooms, to the installation of lifts and even elevators, these builders can discreetly transform your home without losing the elegant and tasteful feel of your dream.
Take your kitchen, for example. These rooms are usually not designed with wheelchairs in mind. If you find yourself needing wheeled assistance but still wanting to make good use of your perfect kitchen, we can help rearrange the space to allow you free access to each area, lower countertops so you can reach things, and create workspaces that you can roll up to and use with ease.
Aging in place is an increasingly popular concept because it does allow you to have it all. Your dream home remains yours, and becomes again a source of pride and pleasure instead of frustration. To learn more about how an Aging-In-Place contractor can help with your renovation,
