Fazzolari Custom Homes & Renovations

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.

Since we’ve just completed a kitchen remodel in one of our projects and are wrapping up another kitchen renovation (a dream kitchen, actually!), we thought it would be a good idea to take a closer look at what clients and we think are the hot musts for any kitchen remodel.

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.

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.
