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.
