GERONT X003 - Gerontology - Universal Design: Housing Solutions for All Ages and Abilities
Good News! We’re living longer. Most of us can look forward to many more years ahead. However, as we get older we may face some limitations with our vision, strength and mobility. These changes can often make it more difficult to age in place. Also, we may have loved ones who are not able to use and enjoy features in our homes, or worse, may not be able to visit us because our homes are too difficult for them to get around.
This module will review Universal Design and how it can simplify our lives no matter how old we are, what our abilities are, or how much money we have.
