Home For Life Design

IS YOUR HOME READY TO TAKE YOU INTO YOUR GOLDEN YEARS?

The majority of Americans over the age of 45 want to continue living in a familiar environment throughout their maturing years. According to the AARP, older homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age-in-place, which means to live in your home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level. Unfortunately that’s not something we often think about or plan for until it is too late.

A Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) has been trained in:

  • The unique needs of the older adult population
  • Aging-in-place home modifications
  • Solutions to common barriers

“My mother was 80 years old, but didn’t want to leave her lifelong home. We had the Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists at DeHaan Remodeling make improvements to her home. A new barrier-free bathroom and wider doors have made all the difference for her. The impact on my mother’s life was profound. She became more self-sufficient, more confident and happier.”
