Around the Home - Design for Aging in Place

I recently attended a very valuable 2-day class on Design for Aging in Place Specialist by the National Assoc. of Home Builders. I learned more of what I already strongly believe in, accessibility in and around the home, especially with kitchen and baths. This includes universal design (for all ages); preliminary planning for those who want to "future-proof" their home and also make it "visit-able"; and those with immediate special needs and requirements. By including universal design in the home it makes it more marketable for re-sale, and gives it more value. It also prolongs the "sell by" date, allowing the owner to stay put.
