Aging in Place Renovations

What Is Aging in Place?

Simply put, aging in place means being able to stay in your home as you get older. Many homeowners find themselves unable to perform daily tasks such as bathing, moving around the home, climbing stairs, or reaching items they need in the kitchen. When unable to complete these tasks, many people are forced to move to a new home, move in with family members, or move to a nursing home facility. But there’s a better option: aging in place renovations.
