If Only I Would Have Known About Universal Design

If you could do one thing differently in your home remodeling or building project, what would it have been?

“You know I wish I would have thought more when we built our house several years ago what it would be like to live here when I was older. Stairs at the time didn’t bother me, but are now much harder for myself and my husband to manage. Also our bathroom and kitchen really aren’t safe for us. If I had to do it over again, I would have taken these issues into consideration.”

Audra isn’t alone. As the Baby Boomers age, many of them will choose to stay in the home in which they raised their children. Some will have the means to retrofit their homes, while others will not. If you are building a new home, be sure to ask about Universal Design. It can be just as stylish and save you a lot of heartbreak in the long run.
