Aging in Place

Aging In Place: The ability to live in your home safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age , income or ability.
To meet their needs of the millions of Americans living longer and more active lives a trend called Aging In Place has taken off. Aging In Place is a concept which creates homes that adapt to the changing needs of the growing older population. In the remodeling industry, we want to integrate features in your home that will improve your present life as well as ensure the value of your home is not only maintained but improved.

Cost Effectiveness

A nursing home can cost more than $70,000 per year. A remodeling project costing $30,000 could be the difference that keeps you at home for extra years.
When considering a home modification or a complete remodel, look at these number and you can see the obvious financial upside to staying in your home as long as possible. A home designed for Aging-In-Place and utilizing Universal Design is more valuable and marketable to a wider group of people because it can be lived in by people of all physical abilities.  Below is a cost comparison of a stay at a care facility vs Aging In Place barrier-free renovations.
