Understanding Aging in Place

Aging in place means living in the residence of your choice, safely and independently, as you get older. This concept is gaining popularity, especially in Florida, where the climate and community amenities offer an ideal setting for retirees and seniors. Building a home for aging in place involves thoughtful design and construction strategies that anticipate and cater to the changing needs of individuals as they age.
