Home modification is for everybody! I can’t emphasize this enough. While aging in place is important and a growing concern for a majority of our population, there are many other folks who will benefit from home modifications.
Folks who will benefit from home modifications:
-
Adult children who want to simplify care for their aging parents and move them into their home.
- Home and Able helps everyone to understand each parties’ needs and goals and facilitates a collaborative floor plan to create space for the folks moving into an established home.
-
Those who have been diagnosed with a chronic or progressive disease
- Setting your home up sooner rather than later, can alleviate symptoms of the disease, promote independence, reduce fall risk and empower the individual to live fully despite their disease diagnosis.
- Examples include Parkinson’s disease, ALS, diabetes, COPD, emphysema, cancer, glaucoma or other visual deficits.
-
Seniors who wish to remain home until the end
- Many folks know that they want to stay home until the end, but few are prepared to make that goal a reality.
- Home and Able will help you to set your home up to accommodate many levels of function, both physically, visually and cognitively. Additionally, information is given on additional ways to prepare for aging in place.
-
Folks who want to create universal design within their home
- There are many reasons to want to set your home up to allow for as many people as possible, at as many levels of function as possible, to use your home. Many other countries build with universal design elements in a forward thinking and inclusive manner. The idea is to create accessibility for everybody.
