Aging in Place is a process to help improve seniors quality of life. As we mature our bodies change. Our accessibility needs can change. It is important to most senior citizens to stay independent. Their wish is to grow older gracefully in a familiar environment, for as long as possible. There is no place like home sweet home.
Statistics show that most accidents happen to seniors while they are in their home. Sadly 66% of seniors who fall, will fall again within six months. With the help of a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) you can maintain a safe, comfortable home.
There are practical things we can do to your home to make it safe, comfortable and more maneuverable. We can do little things like installing handrails and grab bars. We can install swing clear door hinges to gain a few extra inches without making structural changes. Doors with lever style handles are easier to open than traditional round handles. There are hundreds of mature friendly products on the market to help improve our quality of life.
The National Association of Home Builders has teamed up with AARP and The Master Builder Association to certify and educate builders, contractors and remodeling companies.
