Plan Your Retirement Home the Right Way with Topsider Homes

Two building design concepts that are ideal in planning a retirement home are: Universal Design and Aging in Place Design. Universal Design incorporates a wide range of design elements that provide a flexible living environment that will readily adapt to changing needs over the course of a lifetime. Aging in Place Design is about renovating and remodeling existing living spaces to help meet a family’s needs as they age. Topsider’s unique building system and flexible custom designs accommodate both approaches. 

A major factor in planning a retirement home is for it to enable independent living which Universal Design does by providing friendly and functional living environments that work for today and tomorrow – and not just for those with physical limitations. Some of the obvious and easy features Topsider can incorporate into your house design are these:

• Single level patio home designs.
• Open living floor plans.
• Elevators in multi-level homes.
• Wide hallways and doors.
• Large bathrooms with walk-in tubs and handicap sizing.
• Wheelchair accessible kitchens and bathrooms.
• Cabinets and pantry storage areas with pull-out and pull-down shelving.
