From the Author- Silver Sage

“Planning and creating a dwelling place that is designed for life
makes sense regardless of one's age.”

Eighty (80)percent of older people today say they prefer live in their own homes.

In planning for independence in the future the “Lucky Few” (1929-1945) and Baby Boomer (1946- 1964) generations see a process of change and certain steps to take. Possibly the first step is to become familiar with the vocabulary of “aging-in-place” – or, as referred to in this report, Aging-in-PALACE©. The desire to live in a home of their choice actually may change the way homes are designed. Research shows that the home-building industry thinks that aging will be the second-biggest influence on home design in the next few years [source: NAHB].

 THE TERMINOLOGY OF AGING IN PLACE

eBook1

Accessibility/accessible - A term that describes the usability of a product or service by people with physical disabilities- sometimes referred to as Universal (accessible) design - a broad-spectrum ideas meant to produce buildings, products and environments that are inherently accessible to people-regardless of age. Other names for Universal Design: Accessible Homes, Baby Boomer Dwellings, Adaptive Architecture, Diverse Design, 55+ Homes, and Aging- in-Place Design.

Active living community -A community designed to provide opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines

Aging in place -The ability to live in one’s own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level.

Community- A specific group of people, often living in a defined geographic area, who share a common culture, values, and norms and who are arranged in a social structure according to relationships the community has developed over a period of time. The term “community” encompasses worksites, schools, and health care sites.

Connectivity -The ease of travel between two points. The degree to which streets or areas are interconnected and easily accessible to one another. An example of high connectivity would be a dense grid pattern in a downtown area.

Energy smart -Meeting your energy needs cost effectively and with the least impact on the environment.

The desire to stay in our own homes
absolutely can change the way
homes are designed

The home-building industry expects that aging will be the second-biggest influence on home design in the next few years [source: NAHB]. A concept home received a coveted 2012 Best of 50+ Housing Award from the NAHB for a home that meets the physical needs and lifestyle of baby boomers. http://www.udeworld.com/news.html

It seems unlikely that members of the “Lucky Few” (1929-1945) and Baby Boomer (1946- 1964) generations will choose to move to “retirement homes.” The common dialogue these days reads more like this: “Please do not patronize us as 'senior citizens' - because despite certain negative stereotypes about aging, we really are quite clear about our choices for a place to live for a lifetime."

Accessible, universal design allows function and aesthetics to coexist. Developed by a wheelchair-bound architect who thought that homes should be designed for everyone, regardless of physical ability or age, universal design has become more prevalent.

The concept flows throughout the living space as a whole and can include the design of an entire sustainable community - as per this photo.
