What aging in place means
Aging in place remodeling makes a home easier and safer to live in as people get older: grab bars, curbless showers, wider doors, better lighting and fewer steps.
Also called universal design, accessibility remodel.
Where it matters on a remodeling job
Grab bars need solid blocking, which is easy during a remodel and harder after. Offering blocking in every bathroom remodel is a thoughtful, low cost add on.
