How to Remodel Your Home for Longevity & Design

Most people prefer to age in place. If you have a beautiful and gracious home that you love, why leave it? Yet common features in many homes—steeps stairs, “classic” plumbing fixtures, even hardwood floors—can actually make life less comfortable, or sometimes even dangerous, as you get older. Fortunately, there are many attractive home décor options that are also age-friendly. If you’re remodeling a home, putting a little thought into your likely future needs and planning for them can save you the hassle, expense, and possibly a trip to the emergency room.
