Does well-crafted barrier-free design destroy re-sale value, does it “condemn” a home to only being appealing to another person with major mobility issues?
Not at all.
Google aging in place.
It’s the biggest
thing in town design.
It means having a home that ages with you.
So when your
body doesn’t get around like it used to, you have better options than leaving
your beloved neighborhood to relocate to some strange senior housing compound
where you don’t know any of your neighbors.
A bedroom suite on the first floor
of a two-story house, a bathroom that is accessible, a kitchen that can be
adapted for better access, a barrier-free entrance into your home:.
Those are
the kinds of things that allow families to stay in the house they worked so
hard to pay off. Major organizations, including the AARP, are advocating for
universal design that allows people to age in place.
