WORKSHOP TOPICS:
INDEPENDENT LIFESTYLE DESIGN
Independent Lifestyle Design explores the concept of assessing current home design and making modifications to improve safety, comfort, and livability. This workshop will explore, room by room, the many (often no or low cost) modifications that can be made to make the home safer, less cluttered, better illuminated, and more accessible.
“Low-cost, simple modifications to help people be safer and more comfortable in their homes, such as installing grab bars and higher toilets, continue to be the most popular aging-in-place remodeling projects.” National Association of Home Builders.
LIGHTING SOLUTIONS FOR THE AGING EYE
We will all face vision challenges as we age.
