Aging in Place Remodel in Eden Prairie
Aging-in-place remodel in Eden Prairie for this wheel-chair bound homeowner brings peace of mind and improved access to every room on the main floor.
Lead Carpenter Ivan Sass
Project Summary
For many, Aging-In-Place design is something to contemplate for the not-too-near future. For others, like this homeowner couple, the need for immediate infrastructure improvements was matched only by the desire for added beauty.
Wheelchair-bound most of her life, Sheri wanted to secure her independence in case something would prevent her husband Bruce from performing daily lifting duties. That initial desire led to several other functional and aesthetic improvements throughout the main floor and bathrooms, to further enhance home life for this Eden Prairie couple.
Before
