Aging in Place

Aging in place is about creating homes that are safe, comfortable, and secure, allowing our customers to remain as independent as possible—regardless of their abilities. Planning for these modifications and making structural changes to your home can help you continue living there as you age. Universal design can be both functional and beautiful!

Aging-In-Place Modifications Are for You If...

  • You have mobility needs that keep you from really enjoying your home
  • Your home is not currently as safe as it needs to be
  • You would like to invite an elderly parent to live with you, but need your home modified to be accessible for them
