Aging-in-place home remodeling

The NAHB has a comprehensive article outlining aging-in-place issues. It is titled “Aging-in-place checklists for home remodeling”.

The sections are:

• Exterior
• Overall floor plan
• Hallways
• Entry
• Thresholds
• Interior doors
• Windows
• Garage or Carport
• Faucets

Kitchen and Laundry:

• Counters
• Appliances
• Miscellaneous
• Bathroom
• Stairways, lifts and elevators
• Ramps
• Storage
• Electrical, lighting, safety and security
• Flooring
• Heating ventilation and air conditioning
• Energy efficient features
• Reduced maintenance/ convenience features
• Other ideas

I greatly recommend this article; as you can see from the list of topics outlined above, it is very comprehensive. I am sure it covers any questions you may have if you are considering this type of remodel for yourself or your parents.
