Abstract:
A number of today’s baby boomers are looking to stay in their homes. They are willing to spend as much money as they need to renovate their spaces to accommodate their growing needs – now and into the future. Some of them may be dealing with vision issues, while others are less mobile than they used to be, but all of them want an attractive kitchen design that focuses on accessibility and ease of use for all members of the household. This webinar will discuss how to accurately design all facets of the kitchen for those aging in place. (Live webcast aired September 24, 2019.)
