Frequently asked questions

What is aging in place?

Living safely, comfortably, and as independently as possible in your home and community as you grow older. Planning, home modifications, and supportive design help homes adapt to changing needs.

Is home livability planning only for older adults?

Not at all. An injury, surgery, disability, health change, or growing family can create new needs. Thoughtful design helps homes work for people of all ages and abilities.

What is a home livability assessment?

A look at how your home’s layout and features support everyday activities, mobility, comfort, and accessibility, with practical recommendations tailored to you.

Something changed and I need help right away. Can you help?

Yes. I offer personalized consultations to set priorities and explore practical modifications after an injury, surgery, hospitalization, or health change. For urgent medical or discharge needs, your healthcare and discharge-planning teams remain essential partners.

Can you help if I’m building or renovating?

Yes. I consult with homeowners, architects, builders, and contractors to bring universal design and your personal needs into bathrooms, kitchens, entrances, main-level living, and more, during planning rather than after construction.

Do you offer ongoing consulting?

Yes. Monthly follow-up visits provide continued guidance as your needs change and modifications progress.

What is universal design?

An approach to creating spaces people of different ages and abilities can use: easier entrances, accessible bathrooms, thoughtful lighting, functional layouts, and adaptable rooms, all while keeping beauty, comfort, and personal style.
