As our population ages, more homeowners are choosing to modify their homes for long-term comfort and accessibility. At D56 Construction, we specialize in creating beautiful, functional spaces that allow you to age gracefully in the home you love.
Planning ahead for your future needs isn’t just practical—it’s financially savvy. Home modifications made gradually over time can be more budget-friendly than emergency renovations or assisted living facilities. According to the AARP, nearly 90% of seniors prefer to stay in their own homes as they age, making these adaptations increasingly valuable for property resale.
The primary living space deserves careful attention during aging-in-place renovations. A well-planned first floor should include a master bedroom, full bathroom, laundry, and kitchen. D56 Construction excels at creating seamless first-floor additions that blend perfectly with your existing home’s architecture while incorporating universal design principles.
The bathroom often requires the most significant modifications for aging in place. Our expert team can transform your bathroom with curbless showers, comfort-height toilets, and stylish grab bars that look more like luxury accessories than medical equipment. We specialize in creating spa-like bathrooms that combine safety with sophistication.
Modern kitchen design goes beyond aesthetics. Our aging-in-place kitchen renovations include pull-out shelving, easy-grip handles, varied counter heights, and improved lighting. These thoughtful modifications make cooking and cleaning easier while maintaining your kitchen’s style and functionality.
Technology plays a crucial role in modern aging-in-place design. D56 Construction integrates smart home features like voice-controlled lighting, security systems, and automated temperature controls. These additions enhance both safety and convenience while increasing your home’s market value.
Our approach incorporates universal design elements throughout your home: wider doorways, zero-threshold entrances, and improved lighting systems. These modifications benefit everyone, regardless of age or ability, while maintaining your home’s aesthetic appeal and market value.
We extend aging-in-place principles to your outdoor spaces with gently sloped walkways, well-lit entrances, and low-maintenance landscaping. Our designs ensure you can continue enjoying your outdoor spaces safely and independently.
While aging-in-place modifications require upfront investment, they typically cost far less than assisted living facilities or nursing homes. Many of these improvements also qualify for tax deductions and may be covered by certain insurance policies or government programs.
