Should You Age in Place or Right Size Your Home?

Elderly couple laughing
John has experience using Universal Design principles in the evaluation of existing single-family homes to determine whether a home allows for aging in place should future mobilization problems occur. John has unique experiences with a construction degree, 20+ years of real estate experience, and having trained an accomplice to be a home inspector. As the CEO/Creator of the largest Boomers and Seniors Expo in Minnesota and Wisconsin for several years, John had the foresight to understand there was a need to provide the expos as a resource for the aging population where 100+ companies and services were all under one roof.  Contact John for a FREE mobility analysis on your home before having expensive renovation work performed that may not allow for aging in place should medical misfortune strike.
