Design for Golden-Ages

A Survey...

released last fall found that 91% of Canadians of all ages, and almost 100% of Canadians 65 years of age and older, plan on supporting themselves to live safely and independently in their own home as long as possible. Most Canadians are considering growing old in their own homes, in particular after watching the disproportionately negative impact the pandemic had on seniors in assisted living and long-term care residences. - The Globe and Mail

What does "Age in Place" mean for me?

Independence | Ensure your comfort and safety to maintain your needed independence
Accessibility | Avoid strain/ injuries and minimize the risk of falls
Ease of Use | Well-thought details reduce stress of daily tasks

what Can A Home designed for this Stage look like?

Preparing your home to age gracefully for as long as possible does not have to mean grab bars and stair lifts everywhere! It simply means removing unnecessary obstacles that may cause strain in the future.

A well - landscaped front porch that has a safe walkway for yourself and guests during the winter months.
