Home Design For Safety, Accessibility and Longevity


This discussion will center around home safety, accessibility and home modifications.

We will be discussing the disconnect between people wanting to remain in their homes as long and as safely as possible, but not knowing how to do so.

Many homes are not safe for older adults, yet most falls at home can be reduced with modifications.

We will discuss how modifications can make individuals safer in their homes and may actually save money in the long run!
