  3. Aging in Place Remodels
When Sonrise Construction does a new or retrofit construction, we will conduct a review to record the details regarding the existing space, an evaluation of the client’s needs, wants, and preferences.  After that, we will assess the living space as it relates to the changes needed.

Designing for accessibility for persons who are aging in place, who have suffered trauma, or who have progressive disease generally is described as:  Universal, Adaptable, Accessible, and Visitable.

In the course of preparing your Aging in Place Remodeling project, Sonrise Construction will be made aware of some personal information and will work diligently to maintain confidentiality and privacy.  In order to accomplish a successful design for your home, such personal information is needed, and will necessitate a HIPAA release form.

Most of the 121,000,000 homes in the United States have been constructed without consideration for Universal Design or accessibility.  Universal Design refers to wide-ranging concepts intended to produce buildings, products and environments that are inherently accessible to older people, and people with or without disabilities.
