Building a Home to Grow Old In, to Stay In

Back in 2010, NPR put together a great series about the aging baby boomer generation. One part of that series was called "Building Homes to Age In," and it illustrates how beautiful and functional Universal Design for aging in place can be. It's even affordable, and is often far more appealing than a nursing home or assisted living facility for seniors.
