Course Description
Due to the aging process, millions of homes across our country are slowly but surely becoming prisons for their occupants. Societal options exist to move from private residences into congregate living facilities, where oversight and care are offered at various levels for those facing challenges – but many would prefer to age in place. This course considers the vast amount of research that preceded establishing design standards to accommodate people with disabilities. It applies that knowledge to both creating new structures which are far more user friendly to the elderly, and making incremental changes to existing homes as needs arise.
