Tips to make your home senior friendly (StatePoint) More seniors than ever before are living healthy independent lives well into their golden years. And a vast majority want to remain in their homes as long as possible, according to the National Aging in Place Council. However, most houses were not built to adapt to our changing needs as we age. “The good news is there are many simple ways to make a home more functional for your needs as you age,” says Shannon Sims, marketing communications manager for Therma-Tru Corp. By 2030, Americans 65 and older will make up 20 percent of the population. For those wishing to make aging-in-place easier, there are several things to consider. De-clutter Rooms Eliminate clutter that could get in your way, such as planters and small console tables.

To ideally accommodate a wheelchair, the doorway to your home should be at least 32inches wide. Even without a wheelchair, a wider opening can be beneficial when entering and exiting. There are different doors you can install to meet your mobility needs and personal style. For example, Therma-Tru offers 42-inch wide entry doors in its Classic-Craft Rustic Collection and Classic-Craft Oak Collection, to allow for easier access and for dramatic and elegant curb appeal. Also consider how the door swings. A door that swings in may be easier to operate than one swinging out. A remodeling contractor can help determine what your home can accommodate structurally, provide recommendations for styles and handle installation.

Pay attention to area rugs and other tripping hazards. And if you have wood floors and carpeting, install transition strips where they adjoin.

Tweak Bathrooms and Kitchens Lowering countertops in your kitchen and bathroom can make using them easier. And consider grab-bars for showers and bathtubs. For their part, curbless showers and bathtubs with entrances that open can reduce the possibility of falling.

Evaluate Your Entryway

Get a Grip

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 67 million adults will have doctor-diagnosed arthritis by the year 2030. For them, just turning a doorknob can be painfully difficult. Consider installing lever-style handles on exterior and interior doors. And choose ones with a multi-point locking system for ease of opening, such as those from Therma-Tru, which also provide greater security and stability. “Making life easier can be as simple as choosing low-maintenance entry doors with easy-touse levers instead of doorknobs. Or, to allow more fresh air and light into the home, a homeowner can request Vented Sidelites on their doors that swing open easily on hinges,” says Sims. Upgrade Patio Doors Patio doors tend to receive more traffic than front doors. If your patio door is due for an upgrade, you can choose the classic elegance of a hinged door or the modern convenience of a sliding door. Both are available in two-, threeor four-panel configurations to ensure a wide opening. Above all, when adapting your home, keep an eye on making your daily life easier.

are machine-washable. Go Black Always been an admirer of sleek highend furniture, but constrained by a lowend budget? You don’t necessarily have to sacrifice fashion for price. There now are many affordable options, such as The Lakeside Collection’s dark-hued Espresso Furniture set that lets you have a living space that looks like it was plucked from a design magazine, but without the hefty prices. And if you’re like most Americans and use one room as a living, eating and entertaining space, consider Ladder Shelf Storage. These 5-tier shelves can store and display many household items, like books, DVDs, board games, photo frames, collectibles -- even wine! You can mix and match shelves to suit your needs. Wrought Iron A popular trend this year is the use of wrought iron as accent pieces in homes. Try spicing up a drab wall with a scrolled metal wall medallion. The graceful curves and simple design produce a calming effect. Or add a little vintage flair to a bedroom with a vintage dress form in the shape of a woman. Drape it with fabrics and jewelry for extra panache. Creative Storage

(StatePoint) Americans are spending more time than ever at home with family and friends.

your living spaces. Serve & Protect

Cramped for space? Some trendy additions can help you conserve space and organize your most frequently used items. For example, the hanging jewelry organizer from Lakeside.com has 72 seethrough pouches for earrings, necklaces and bracelets and hangs in your closet, allowing you to quickly get what you need.

Eighty percent of consumers say they are entertaining at home these days, according to new research from the NPD Group, a consumer market research company.

There’s nothing better than chowing down with the family while watching a good movie. And while you want to preserve that expensive couch from food stains and pet hair, you know grandma’s plastic couch covers are a serious fashion faux-pas.

And if you’re all out of bedrooms for visiting relatives, try turning a spare room into a livable space with metal storage solution racks. Consider a Clothes Organizer that features a hanging rod, shelves for shoes, socks and accessories, and a top shelf for hats, sweaters and more.

Fortunately, you can now get quilted sueded furniture covers that add extra cushion to your sofa, loveseat or favorite chair while preventing spills from reaching the upholstery. Best of all, such covers

New trends in home décor

And alongside this newfound enjoyment of their homes, families are re-discovering an appreciation for home décor that enhances their living spaces without busting their budgets. There are several new trends in home décor that can cost-effectively liven up

A little design sensibility can help you decorate your home to your liking without hurting your wallet!

Various polls have indicated that over 75% of home buyers favor an energy-efficient home over another. Therefore, home sellers looking for a competitive edge need to feature their home’s green features. A home buyer can quickly become confused by various green claims. A Realtor certified in a “green” program can help you navigate through the green wash and into a more clear idea of sustainability. There are several programs available that help a Relator become more knowledge about green. These programs are primarily educational and offer a certificate and use of an identifying logo for marketing purposes after course completion. In WNC there three certification programs that allow Realtors to gain knowledge that will help them provide better service to their clients: Environmental Consultant ECO An ECO Consultant is a REALTOR® with an interest in healthy, sustainable design, building and development who has completed the Asheville Board of REALTORS® certification program to become an ECO Consultant. Thirty-six hours of training in all the major issues of green building is required. The combination of core required courses and a choice of many electives allows each certified ECO Consultant to complete the training with a good understanding of both the issues and local resources. NAR's Green Designation GREEN The only NAR-recognized real estate designation designed for agents looking to learn about issues of energy efficiency and sustainability in the various facets of real estate. This program requires three 6 hour classes. The first class seeks to instill the mindset essential to building a green-focused real estate business so that students can apply knowledge of green trends and approaches to business planning. The second familiarizes students with green principles and choices in home design and construction. The third strives to provide green cost savings and health benefits of green homes. EcoBroker International The EcoBroker designation is awarded to licensed real estate agents who complete three 6-hour online classes. The first class evaluates various environmental issues, such as radon, asbestos, lead, water, mold, and indoor air quality. The second class discusses energy-efficiency technologies, sustainable energy options, mortgage options, and green home certifications. The third course deals with marketing and using the energy and environmental training in real estate transactions. Finding an agent knowledgeable about both the local market for green homes and what green features are important in your region is a practical and worthwhile step down the path to home ownership. Keller Williams will soon be delivering green-specific education and a designation program in order to help buyers and sellers create a “green network” for their home. mary love
