Patricia Nunan Universal Design and Age in Place have different meanings yet do the same thing when applied correctly. We will discuss the impact of Universal Design and Age in Place as it relates to changing demographics, lifestyles, economy and the remodeling industry. Technology and healthcare have prolonged the active lifestyle and helped those living with a disability to be more independent. In this format we want to explore how these demographic, physical and financial changes affect the way we talk to our clients, plan & educate ourselves and build. This is an evolving territory with countless ideas and solutions to help people enjoy their homes. We hope you will join in the discussion, explore solutions and share new ideas. en-us http://www.housingzone.com/blog/1230000723.html Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
