Aging in place is defined as:
“the ability to live in one’s own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level.”
The goal of anyone considering the process of “aging in place” should be to maintain and ultimately improve their quality of life.
Whether you’d like to explore options for one-floor living, create a more open floor plan, redesign a bathroom, or relocate a bedroom, Shakespeare Home Improvement Company can help you achieve this vision.

Why remodel a home for senior living?
All of these design ideas for the aging population are great ways to allow seniors to remain living at home (instead of moving to a retirement home, etc). We love being creative in our designs to make everyday living a lot more comfortable.
Remodeling and home construction for the elderly is a great way to create a safe environment for cooking, cleaning, et cetera. We also love making the home’s features a lot more accessible.
Why choose us as your Lancaster specialist to design your one-floor living concept?
- Simply put, we are experts in this field.
- The owner of Shakespeare has over 20 years of personal experience in creating his home to be an environment that is friendly to a mobility challenged person due to the fact that his spouse requires wheel chair accessibility as well as creating safe bathroom and bedroom functionalities. This has made him an expert in this field and has been a rewarding experience for both him and his wife. He wants to share this with others with similar challenges to create a safe and happy environment for them as well.
