Age Friendly Homes

 A HOME YOU REALLY WANT TO BE IN AS YOU AGE. 

Our homes are vital to supporting the lifestyle we want; they connect us to people, places, and experiences we love.

Many people contemplate a change to their living situation as they near retirement, or when kids leave the family home.

Whether it is downsizing, sea changing or tree changing Design for Age can help future proof your home.

Buying a home?   We explore what your home needs to be for you, then help you find a home that will best meet your needs as you age. We can identify design features of homes that may become problematic and provide options for addressing those design features. 

Building a home? We can work with your architect or builder to design an 'accessible' home that your friends will envy. Style is not compromised as we build in design features that cater for your needs as you age. 

Renovating your home?  If you are thinking about renovating your home, we can work with you to identify key design features for the renovation that will create a home you want to live in for a long time.  

Clinical insights obtained from over 30 years of Occupational Therapy experience in hospital and community settings have led to a deep appreciation of home design that enables great lifestyles or creates barriers. At Design for Age, we are committed to Universal Design Principles so that your home is accessible.
