Homestead of Memories

It is a compassionate guide that unravels the complexities of creating an accessible home for those who wish to age in place. In the realm of Chapter Two, "The Reason Why You Need an Accessible Home," the audiobook echoed my recent experience of helping a family member navigate challenges associated with limited mobility. Bigalk's insights resonated deeply, providing a roadmap to address the practical aspects of an accessible home. The chapter became a source of guidance and assurance, offering valuable advice on the importance of creating spaces that cater to the evolving needs of loved ones. The book became a catalyst for initiating discussions about the future, turning theoretical concepts into tangible plans for a more inclusive living environment.

If you have aging parents, you need this

It’s been trickier for my parents to stay with me when they visit and a source of pain for all. This book is an amazing resource for anyone who needs to make their home more accessible. It’s super practical as it takes you room per room. I was also fascinated to learn about the rules of universal design.

Awesome concepts you probably haven't considered!

So glad I found this audiobook! My grandparents are transitioning from living on their own to building a home on family property in order to have more help in their final stages of life. We've had to address a lot of accessibility issues as well as multiple design hiccups to accommodate their needs. I love the concept of universal design that was presented in this audiobook - not something I had considered deeply before. Incorporating home automation was also not something we had considered until I listened to this book. They are stoked to break ground with these new designs in mind. We all feel confident they can easily "age in place" and still have some independence as we continue to engineer this new home.
