If you have aging parents, you need this
It’s been trickier for my parents to stay with me when they visit and a source of pain for all. This book is an amazing resource for anyone who needs to make their home more accessible. It’s super practical as it takes you room per room. I was also fascinated to learn about the rules of universal design.

Excellent Information!
Aging in Place, this audio came at the perfect time for myself at 62! There is so much involved and I need to think about, and this is has been a real eye opener for me. I want to build according to needs for the future instead of going to a home for the elderly and disabled, I prefer to be prepared! I have stairs at the present time, and they are already bothering me to go up and down, I would like everything on one level with easy access in order to take care of myself as long as possible. This audio has been greatly researched, written, and spoken! This is so easy to visualize and come up with a real list of musts! Everything is in this audio to consider, it is very easy to understand and follow! I will be listening to this again and again in order to get it all right! I greatly appreciate all of this author's wisdom! Thank You!

Homestead of Memories
It is a compassionate guide that unravels the complexities of creating an accessible home for those who wish to age in place. In the realm of Chapter Two, "The Reason Why You Need an Accessible Home," the audiobook echoed my recent experience of helping a family member navigate challenges associated with limited mobility. Bigalk's insights resonated deeply, providing a roadmap to address the practical aspects of an accessible home. The chapter became a source of guidance and assurance, offering valuable advice on the importance of creating spaces that cater to the evolving needs of loved ones. The book became a catalyst for initiating discussions about the future, turning theoretical concepts into tangible plans for a more inclusive living environment.

Awesome concepts you probably haven't considered!
So glad I found this audiobook! My grandparents are transitioning from living on their own to building a home on family property in order to have more help in their final stages of life. We've had to address a lot of accessibility issues as well as multiple design hiccups to accommodate their needs. I love the concept of universal design that was presented in this audiobook - not something I had considered deeply before. Incorporating home automation was also not something we had considered until I listened to this book. They are stoked to break ground with these new designs in mind. We all feel confident they can easily "age in place" and still have some independence as we continue to engineer this new home.
