Buying or remodeling that “Forever Home.” Choosing a universal design and product ascetically beautiful and workable for any age, young or old, allows you to live there now during your current lifestyle, and will suit you in your more senior years.
Tips to remember when buying or remodeling that “Forever Home.”:
Changing bathrooms so that a wheelchair can go through the door and roll right into the shower.
Design the walls by installing braces to accommodate needed security bars for the future.
Create kitchen and bathroom’s to have ease in organization.
Choose lower cabinets for the kitchen to be large self-close drawers on rollers, allowing food items from the back to be easily reached and lifted out.
Products such as luxury laminated wood flooring for allowing an individual to maneuver a wheelchair or walker easily.
That is what universal design accomplishes. It is a timeless way of designing for future life transitions.
