Frequently Asked Questions

Aging-in-place design refers to modifying living spaces to accommodate the changing needs of seniors as they age. The goal is to create an environment that is safe, comfortable, and accessible for older adults, allowing them to remain in their homes for as long as possible. This may involve installing grab bars and handrails, widening doorways, and eliminating tripping hazards. It can also include using smart technology to monitor their health and safety and adapting lighting and temperature controls for optimal comfort. Aging in place design is an important consideration for anyone who wants to age with dignity and independence and for those who love them the most to know they are doing just fine.

Several disability housing grants and programs are available for veterans in the United States to assist them with acquiring or modifying homes to meet their specific accessibility needs. Some of the notable ones include:

• Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant: The SAH grant provides financial assistance to disabled veterans for building, buying, or remodeling a home to accommodate their service-connected disabilities. The grant can be used to make modifications such as wheelchair ramps, wider doorways, roll-in showers, and other accessibility improvements.

• Special Housing Adaptation (SHA) Grant: Similar to the SAH grant, the SHA grant is designed to help disabled veterans adapt their existing homes to make them more accessible. It offers financial assistance to modify homes for veterans with service-connected disabilities.

• Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grant: The HISA grant provides financial support to veterans with service-connected disabilities and non-service-connected disabilities for necessary home improvements and structural alterations. These improvements are intended to help enhance access to the home and facilities within the home.

The most common home improvement project for people aging-in-place or with disabilities is a bathroom remodel. Bathrooms can be challenging and potentially hazardous spaces due to slippery floors, limited mobility, and other accessibility issues. Modifying this area creates an environment that is both safer and more conducive to independent use.

Some common modifications to enhance bathroom accessibility include:

• Installing grab bars

• Walk-in showers or tub-to-shower conversions

• Non-slip flooring

• Raised toilets

• Improved lighting

• Lever-style faucets

• Widening doorways

As we age, the idea of moving out of our familiar homes and communities can be daunting. Fortunately, aging in place has become a popular option for seniors. In fact, “more than 75% of older Americans want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible,” according to the United Disabilities Services (UDS). The benefits of aging in place are numerous, including:

  • Staying connected to family and friends
  • Maintaining a sense of familiarity and comfort
  • Preserving independence and autonomy
  • Reduce stress and anxiety, which can positively impact both the physical and mental well-being of an individual.
