Aging in Place
As you age, eyesight fails, depth perception changes, opening doors with knobs gets to be a pain literally and figuratively, and – darn it! – the floor gets further and further away.
You may have tried to fight it or deny it, but time has won.
The problem is that you want to stay in your home, but your home doesn't seem to be the same anymore. In truth, it's the same, but you've changed. Yet you aren't ready to go live with the old folks in the retirement community and you love your home. Wouldn't it be great if your home adapted to your needs? It can! That's where we can help.
As baby boomers age, the housing industry develops a deepening understanding of how to make your home "universally accessible." Simply put, it means every part of your home is useable by you or your loved ones – and at the same time it's still attractive.
There are an enormous amount of new products available to accommodate these changes, including walk-in bath tubs, load bearing towel bars, elevators, electric stair chairs and more.
Changes required vary tremendously based on your needs, from simply changing light bulbs and door knobs to adding wheelchair ramps, kitchen remodels and ground floor master bedrooms and bathrooms.
Our powerful new Cadsoft building design software allows us to show you how changes will look after remodeling, so you don't have to imagine it – we will show you.
Before any changes are made it's important to consult with you, and possibly your health care providers, to make sure we understand not only what your needs are today but also what your future needs will be.
Even if you aren't quite there yet, it makes sense to prepare sooner rather than later. You can withstand the rigors of remodeling better if your health is still good.
Follow the links below to explore some of the products that can be incorporated into your home, and then call Ken at 206-568-2381 or email tudorconstruction@comcast.net for a consultation.
