Aging in place is not a category of renovation that needs to look clinical. Done well, it is a set of thoughtful design decisions that make a home more comfortable, more accessible, and more livable at every stage.
Wider doorways. Curbless showers. Better lighting. Reinforced walls where grab bars might eventually be added. A primary bedroom on the main floor. These decisions are much easier to build in during a renovation you are already doing than to retrofit later.
For homeowners planning to stay in their home for the long term, it is worth having the conversation early - even if the need for it feels years away.
