A program of AARP that offers information and tools for creating communities and homes that work for people of all ages.
AARP Livable Communities is an initiative that provides resources and information for local leaders who want to create age-friendly environments. Its website offers tools and ideas on housing, transportation and community life. While it focuses on communities, many of its themes connect with the home: being able to move around easily, live safely and stay connected. Families in Nashville use such resources when planning for parents or for their own future.
We are an independent firm and are not part of AARP. We explain in plain language the ideas behind age-friendly design, such as step-free entries, wider doorways, good lighting, non-slip floors and easy-to-use fixtures, and we point you to the official site for broader information. In the home, we apply these ideas with style so that safety features look like part of the design and everyone feels comfortable.
