10:00 AM - Aging in Place: The Future of Design
By 2030, one in five people in the U.S. will be age 65 or over, and most houses and apartments are designed for able-bodied adults and don’t necessarily meet the needs of older people or those with disabilities. In this course, we address the concept of Aging-In-Place and its relevance to design, building material products, and overall safety of its built environment. We will discuss all the ways in which Aging-In-Place can be beneficial to those wanting to stay put, while discussing preparations for general residential design.

Learning Objectives

• Describe why Aging-In-Place matters, and the lifestyle decisions made can affect all involved in the community
• Understand the benefits of Aging-In-Place and the factors to their health, safety, and welfare
• Review the preparations needed to Age-In-Place, along with identifying health and safety concerns of the built environment
• Identify technological tools that can be utilized for the benefits of Aging-In-Place
