Studio C Design Group is proud to announce that we have partnered with the Joyce Campbell Family Foundation, a non profit organization, to create PROJECT CARING HOME. This project was conceived to raise awareness about aging in-place and the growing need for supportive housing. Project Caring Home is about showing that small changes in a home's function, paired with community services and programs, can mean big changes to a person's ability to live safely and independently in the house they've grown to call a home.
By designing spaces that can support the needs of everyone at every age, we are helping to keep families together. You've spent most of your adult life taking care of your home. Isn't it time your home started taking care of you?
Baby Boomers around the country are suddenly finding themselves in quite a predicament. There are fewer supportive homes in the housing stock that can accommodate their family needs. Because many of the Boomers are taking care of not only their children, but often times their parents as well, they find their homes are unable to comfortably and safely support several generations. Mom and Dad have special needs, mobility digression being the most common, but more recently we've seen the children moving back home and bringing their children with them. That makes three to four generations under one roof!
How many of you can say your home is ready for that? Think of the safety issues, the baby proofing, the senior needs, and what about the dog? Most life threatening accidents for babies and seniors occur in the home. Fall prevention is among the best ways to be proactive in health care. By reducing the risk of falls in the home, you are potentially saving thousands of dollars in medical bills and future health complications resulting from such injury.
Project Caring Home's mission is to introduce safe and comfortable design solutions and community services and programs to every home in America. It's time to rethink how our homes function? Small changes can mean the difference between giving up your home and community for an assistive living facility or nursing home and being able to REMAIN AT HOME surrounded by familiarity, family and friends.
Let's invest in our future, let's invest in our families, let's invest in our homes. Contact an Aging In-Place Specialist at the Studio C Design Group for more information on ways to make a difference or scheduling a Specialist to come to your home for an In Home Assessment to discuss what special needs you would like addressed and what potential difficulties your home currently presents.
