John Fazzolari takes you on a tour of an aging-in-place addition to a home in the Vancouver, WA area.

Aging-in-place renovations and additions don’t have to look institutional to be functional – after all, it’s a home first.

A properly set up yard, garden, and garage can allow green thumb seniors to practice their hobby while they age in place.

Bathrooms are a major consideration for aging-in-place upgrades, if for the simple reason that there are hazards that go hand-in-hand with the slippery surfaces found in most of them.

When people begin to consider living throughout their senior years at home, the kitchen becomes a major consideration and a place where a little thought and attention can really help make it safe, accessible, and useful.

The proper design of entryways and hallways is crucial to homes that are set up for aging in place.

The first place to start when you are considering aging in place is the community in which you live. Ask yourself this question: Would you want to live there if you were 80 years old?

Certified contractors can lead people through “aging in place” remodeling considerations and prepare their homes so they can live in them throughout their lives, enjoying family, community, and a familiar environment.
