What is Aging-In-Place?

Aging In Place is about homeowners managing the conveniences of daily life with every aspect of your home. The overwhelming majority of Americans desire to remain in their current home. Unfortunately, as our physical abilities change, most of elements in our homes stay the same. An certified Aging-In-Place specialist like Fisher Builders has the means to make those changes for you.

Do I have to completely change all of the rooms in my home?

Absolutely not. Fisher Builders customizes the changes to your home based on your needs. Every one of our clients has various limitations, requirements, and requests.  We will work within your budget to modify what you want... not what we want.

I suffer from arthritis causing my hands to sometimes ache. How would Aging In Place help me?

Fisher Builders can install a variety of upgrades to assist you including:

• Lever handle faucet
• Thermostatic valves and trims
• Low torque handles for doors
• Push-button appliances

My wife is now using both a walker and a wheelchair.  What can Fisher Builders do to make it easier to get around?

Most homes were not designed or constructed for people with limited mobility. Here are a few of the changes we can make and the products we can install:

• Grab bars and handrails
• Wider door frames and entryways
• Low step over baths
• Low shower bases
• Custom built or fold up shower seats
• Hand-held shower heads
• Lower counter tops with accessible cabinets
• Custom ramps
• No-slip flooring

All of these Aging In Place additions sound great but will it look good?

Fisher Builders uses products from some of the finest distributors in the world including:

• Kohler
• Hanshrohe
• Viking
• Daltile
• Pergo
• Toto
• Kraftmaid
• and an array of eco-friendly/energy efficient products

The selections are near limitless and the décor and styles available will conform to whatever you desire.

Because Aging-In-Place is a specialty, will it cost more than regular remodeling?

Most of the additions and products Fisher Builders utilizes are about the same as traditional remodeling products.  We understand financial constraints and working within a budget so we'll work with you to provide the best service at a competitive price. Aging In Place remodeling is an investment in your long term future and comfort; nursing homes and assisted living can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year for many of the same amenities. We want you to be comfortable with your long term investment that will help add value to your home.

What else can Fisher Builders provide?

Upgraded lighting, bidets, seamless and heat resistant counter tops, roll out shelving pantries... almost anything!  All you need to do is contact one of our certified aging in place specialists and explain your personal needs. We can then customize a plan and show you options.

The last thing your own home should be to you is an inconvenience. Let us show you your home's potential.
