As we grow older our living requirements change,
but we may not want to move to a new home. Aging in
place involves modifying your existing home to accomodate
your needs as you grow older.
You can count on Pearce-Sunnell Contracting to
provide quality workmanship and beautiful craftmenship
when making aging in place home modifications.
Fundamental to Aging in Place is the creation of
barrier free locations. This means that barriers such
as stairs, abrupt elevation changes, high thresholds
and narrow passageways need to be eliminated. For
example, the bathroom designs shown here provide plenty
of room for wheelchair access. 
Safety, security and independence are key factors
taken into consideration.
Aging in place also means an adaptable design that
can change as your needs change. An adaptable design
also allows for the needs and problems of different
people. Plus it can easily adapt to changes in a person's
abilities as they age without requiring the home be
remodeled again. A major part of an adaptible design
is installing sinks, grab bars and counters that can
be raised, lowered or changed to accomodate changing
needs.
