My Age-Friendly Design Program starts with an on-site home safety evaluation. Room by room, I’ll focus on fall prevention, general safety, accessibility and functionality. My assessment takes into account the individual’s health concerns, such as Parkinson’s, dementia, hearing and vision impairment.

I’ll also ascertain the aesthetics of the individual so that I can recommend products and furnishings that are beautiful as well as functional. At times, I team up with the person’s physical and/or occupational therapist to get their input.

Based on my findings, I’ll create a comprehensive report, taking into account the individual’s level of functioning as well as their aesthetic needs. You are free to act on any or all of my recommendations. If you want, I can even handle the "heavy lifting", procuring furnishings, creating floor plans and overseeing installation.
