Aging in place is easier when owning an Easy Living Home

Bob Adams Homes is aware that baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, are 77 million strong. Independent, sophisticated and active, and they have the insight to see that the design of their home plays an important role in the quality of their future. The youngest of them are all pushing 40, and they love having choices and are not afraid to make decisions. Looking toward the future with confidence, and with a life expectancy that averages nearly 80, they are looking for a home that will be livable for the long haul, not an obstacle course, and they can get just that in a Bob Adams home.

As a certified Easy Living Home builder, we are only continuing the standards that we have always incorporated into our homes, the certification is merely a confirmation that we had it right all along. Easy Living incorporates a no-step entry, doorways wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair or walker, and a bedroom and bathroom, with a wide doorway on the first floor.

These characteristics obviously offer ease for persons who may require a walker or wheelchair, but they also offer the luxury of wheeling a stroller right into the house after an afternoon walk, or allow you to put that bench in the extra wide hallway that would be perfect for changing out of messy shoes into something more inside appropriate, and how about saving those elbows when hauling a large load of laundry or groceries through the doorway? This certification will add convenience in your life today, and independence in your life, for the rest of your life.

The Easy Entrance, Easy Passage, Easy Use concept is appealing to all ages, and remember, the nearing 40 boomers are looking at their own parents and know that one day they will be like them, and most will likely live even longer. They too, like 85 percent of the senior population who want to age in place, and live well and comfortably in a home they have come to love, will face the same obstacles unless they look ahead to the future and prepare for the inevitable changes we will all go through.

Easy Living Home is a voluntary certification program for builders that will make homes more livable and visitable for everyone. For more information, visit Lora’s Place in Newnan, and see one of the floor plans for yourself. Call 770-502-0480, or e-mail them at lorasplace@bobadamshomes.com.
