What is Aging-in-Place Remodeling? Understanding Universal Design
Aging-in-place remodeling is the strategic adaptation of your home to ensure long-term comfort, safety, and independence, regardless of age or mobility changes. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution, nor is it simply adding a ramp or handrails. At its core is Universal Design, a philosophy that encourages home improvements beneficial for everyone—from children to seniors, and those with varying mobility.
This forward-thinking remodeling focuses on:
Safety & Accessibility
Eliminating barriers and reducing risks for confident movement.
Comfort & Convenience
Designing spaces that are easy and intuitive to use for all.
Independence
Allowing you to perform daily routines with minimal assistance.
When you partner with Cornerstone Builders, your aging in place remodel in Washington County, OR, is meticulously tailored to your unique needs and future goals.
