Few things are as worrisome as the thought of one day losing your independence - whether your main concern is with an aging parent or your own future needs. In conjunction with that, a rapidly changing economy means that many people are reassessing their retirement plans and deciding that it makes financial sense to remain in their current homes as long as possible.
At Palmer Custom Builders, our goal is to help you or your loved ones preserve their independence by making what are often minor changes that have a major impact. These include items that Qualified Remodel.com listed in April 2009 as the most frequently purchased aging-in-place modifications:

- Widening doorways
