Aging at Home Services & Universal Design

Aging at Home Services in CT Goal - assist residents who wish to remain in their homes as they age and their needs and abilities change, through our design and construction services.

Design - efficient, yet cost effective design is achieved through utilization of principles found in:

The International Residential Code (IRC) – the residential building code
Principles of Universal Design (NC State University, The Center for Universal Design)
ADA Standards for Accessible Design – “the” standard for accessible design
Our own extensive experience - working with seniors and on ADA compliant projects

Construction - efficient yet cost effective construction is achieved through:

Utilization of standard construction materials, installation procedures and components wherever practical
Utilization of manufactured components instead of custom designs or “site-built” components – knowing what is available and where to obtain it
Contractors who are familiar with the designs, materials and techniques which are required

Consultation/Collaboration - by working with your other support network providers, we can achieve a result that gives you what you need, doesn’t give you what you don’t need and is cost effective in satisfying your requirements
