Most people would like to remain in their homes as they age. But, the practicality of doing so becomes a challenge when considering how a home may need to be renovated to accommodate safety and mobility issues.

Wheelchair accessibility, lighting, floor coverings, furniture, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen functionality are just some of the factors that need to be considered. AARP offers a HomeFit Guide that includes a room-by-room checklist of best practices and resources. This article from Consumers’ Checkbook offers even more insight. But what if retrofitting your current home is an overwhelming task?  One option is to consider a custom home, built to your exact specifications, or buying a home in a new home community, with modifications to meet your needs.  Sal Paone Builders can help with both options.
