Architecture and Aging-in-Place expert Aaron Murphy, owner of ADM Architecture, joins Suzanne to talk about his vision for the website foreverhome-us.com in the next three to five years.
If you’re over 55, look at your home. Ask yourself these questions if you want to stay in your home as you get older: Can you navigate around your house when you’re older? Are there stairs, can you navigate your bathrooms? If you were in a wheelchair, could you use the bathroom? Could you climb into a slippery bathtub? Do you have proper handrails?
Could your home be adapted as you age? Yes, it is possible, and there’s a great opportunity for architects, designers, and home remodelers to learn how. Murphy is building a one-stop place to visit where you can trust that everyone brought onto the team will be able to help.
Check out foreverhome-us.com if you’re a homeowner thinking about aging-in-place. The site has three main areas. First, if you want us to speak with members of your company, they can do that. Second is the opportunity for business owners to be trained. Third, there will be a nationwide database of aging place and universal housing design stock plans. The average buying cycle is seven years, but when you buy a home you ought to consider what it’ll be like living there longer than that, especially if you’re over 40. This might be your last home purchase. It’s beneficial to think about aging in place questions even if you aren’t worried about it now.
