Age In Place At Home: Adapting The Home Environment For All Generations

Have you discovered you need to adapt your current house to better accommodate one or more family members regardless of age, size or ability, and don’t know where to begin? If so, this book is your pathfinder. Or perhaps you and your family have determined it’s best for you and your spouse to safely age at home surrounded by neighbors and familiar surroundings, but you need to identify how to proceed. This book will navigate you along a direct track to Age in Place.<br><br>David Traut’s book “Age in Place at Home: Adapting the Home Environment for All Generations” acts as a guidepost for exposing and modifying the shortcomings of accessibility your home exhibits. It will inspire and empower you to confront and overcome these problematic areas negatively affecting family members who need home accessibility the most.<br><br>What are some familial challenges most commonly associated with home modifications?You have a growing special needs child who requires privacy and comfort to thrive.You or your aging spouse are unable to conform to your present home barriers and facilities.Someone within your family has suffered from an accident and desires better accessibility to recover.A family member suffers from a chronic degenerative disease that is taking it's toll on the individual.You have decided to move an aging parent into your home needing increased accessibility.Your entire extended family has undertaken a multi-generational path and lacks privacy and usability.Many factors have contributed to our interior design crisis and home inaccessibility throughout history, and you will discover why and how to overcome them in the book.<br><br>"Age in Place at Home" is not merely another architecture book. The home interior design book will relinquish your “just for now” attitude about establishing home in a common sense way. Avoid moving from house to house to accommodate the changing needs of your family. Fortunately, you can adapt almost any existing home environment to overcome difficulties and enable you and everyone else in the family to comfortably live at home safely. The book is broken down into two main parts. The first part explains historically why our current traditional homes have always lacked inclusive accessibility for every family member once life changes occur. Within the second part of the book, the author takes you room by room describing how the principles of Universal Design can be applied. In effect, this informative book explains what makes up a “forever home” in a realistic way simply by incorporating the Universal Design principles during periodic remodeling projects or initially during the home building process. Universal Design addresses the requirements for aging, special needs families and for multi-generational living situations in a proactive manner. Finally, the sustainable "forever home" has the unique qualities of flexibility and longevity for its diverse residents. Homes containing Universal Design elements do not appear institutional and offer usable style. These houses never need further renovation for accommodating future family member changes, except in extreme circumstances.<br><br>The book makes you aware the construction techniques used to introduce Universal Design into any given home interior design are not specialized. However, the manner of working and usable outcome is cautiously considered and executed in regard to style, beauty, and function while establishing home. The positive result is every family member has equal accessibility throughout the homes interior. IT JUST MAKES GOOD SENSE. <br><br> ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0BKCM9BML <br> Publisher ‏ : ‎ Independently published (October 24, 2022) <br> Language ‏ : ‎ English <br> Paperback ‏ : ‎ 350 pages <br> ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 979-8357326959 <br> Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.04 pounds <br> Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 6 x 0.79 x 9 inches <br>
