| Aging in Place is an aspect of Universal Design, offering design solutions for people with all different types of needs. It’s not an everyday household phrase, but soon will be! If your plan is Aging In Place, it allows me to detail your plans for long term transitional comfort.
I enjoy doing this kind of work for people because it is necessary, and appreciated once it is in place. Clients are grateful for the forethought behind the small things. It takes special care and listening to be able to do it. And, HB Design delivers the latest information available with clarity and care for the individual. One thing about Boomers is that they are more open to listening about new ideas -- materials, ventilation, ease of cleaning, maintenance. It’s very personal...Just ask any of our former clients!
The concern of having to leave your own home as you age is significant -- you lose control over your familiar surroundings, and that grounds our feelings of dignity, quality of life and independence. One's own home is a strong element in our sense of security.
In the past, home modifications and technology items designed for seniors were to be avoided, because they had an industrial appearance. No more! HB Design for Aging In Place offers comfortable, beautiful and individual ways to let your home continue to work for you, keep the look and design timeless, elegant, and help you live an independent life in your own home.
From a simple change like replacing all the doorknobs with lever handles, to radical changes like adding an exterior elevator or changing all the flooring, there’s no time that’s too soon to start thinking about design for Aging in Place! |
