By far, the most popular blog we’ve had recently is about Universal Design – the process of making your home accessible for people of all ages and abilities. It creates an easier and safer environment for everyone and has the added benefit of allowing individuals to remain in their homes longer as they age.
I recommend everyone, regardless of age, consider incorporating Universal Design into your home. It’s helpful for your entire family and is a unique and highly desirable selling feature if/when you decide to sell your home. As a Senior Real Estate Specialist, it’s also something I look for when searching for homes for my clients to consider.
A recent AARP article recommends nine changes everyone should consider for the kitchen including:
- Incorporate smart technology
- Make it easier to hydrate
- Making inaccessible cabinet space more accessible
- A more hygienic trashcan
- Consider an easier dish washer
- Induction cooktops
- Reconfiguring counter space
- Improve lighting
- Think about zones
