03 Feb Join Us: Home Accessibility Panel Discussion and Presentation
Port City Elevators is excited to partner with the Home Builders Association of Raleigh and Wake County and CARE – The Council for Ageless Residential Environments and participate in a home accessibility panel discussion and presentation to determine what are the best approaches to support the growing demand for accessible homes in the United States.
The discussion will be addressing the growing need to provide solutions for providing resources for home modifications for aging in place.
Aging in place addresses the long term needs of our population. If you’re like the majority of Americans over the age of 45, you want to continue living in a familiar environment throughout your maturing years with Certified Aging in Place or Universal Design. CAPS is the concept of using universal designed accessibility products and planned environments engineered for use by all regardless of condition. What makes a home “universal”? It’s simple. Everyone can use universal design! It doesn’t matter if you are young or old. You could be short or tall, healthy or ill. You might have a disability. Or you may be a prize-winning athlete. Because of universal design, people who are very different can all enjoy the same home. And that home will be there for all its inhabitants even when their needs change. Some universal design features just make good sense. Once you bring them into your home, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.
