Living in Place FAQs

What does living in place or aging in place mean?

Living in place or aging in place refers to making home modifications that allow you to live safely and comfortably in your home as your needs evolve over time.
What's the difference between a standard vs an aging in place bathroom remodel?

A standard bathroom remodel typically focuses on aesthetics and layout. An aging in place or living in place bathroom remodel layers in specific accessibility features such as curbless shower entries, properly placed grab bars, comfort-height fixtures, non-slip flooring, and clearances that accommodate walkers or wheelchairs. The good news is that when done well, the two aren’t at odds. Modern accessibility design looks great.
Do I have to commit to a full renovation, or can I start with smaller modifications?

Either works. Some homeowners start with a grab bar installation or a faucet conversion and build from there. Others use a full bathroom or kitchen renovation as the opportunity to incorporate accessibility features from the ground up. We’ll talk through what makes sense for your situation.
How do I know what modifications my home needs?

That’s exactly what a consultation is for. Our CAPS-certified team will walk through your home, understand how you use the space, and identify the modifications that will have the most meaningful impact, without recommending work you don’t need.
Can I see the fixtures and materials before deciding?

Yes, and we encourage it. Schedule an appointment at our Design Center at 124 Simsbury Road in Avon, Monday through Friday 8AM to 4PM and Saturday 8AM to 12PM. Seeing and handling the actual fixtures makes a real difference in the decision-making process.
Do you serve areas outside of Avon?

Yes. We serve homeowners throughout Hartford and Litchfield Counties. If you’re looking for a bathroom remodel or kitchen renovation near you in the Farmington Valley area, we’re your team.
