Aging in Place and Designing for Safety
Aging in place is the concept of being able to stay in your own home as you age into and through your senior years. To do this, a home must be designed to accommodate things like limited mobility, fading eye sight, and the higher risk of injury from trips and falls. So what does aging in place design have to do with wellness architecture? Safety! A home that is designed to adapt to an aging person is a home that is going to be safe and easily accessible for everyone.
