This week we discuss a very delicate topic that doesn't get discussed often: planning for disability and handicap. Disability doesn't necessarily mean wheelchair bound as many physical changes we experience as we age puts us in a handicap category. We talk about how our background in commercial design has helped us in preparing our residential clients for universal or 'aging in place' design. We revisit the pros and cons of a wet room design for our disabled veteran clients and talk about current organization trends in a home.
