The photo-realistic online virtual tour focuses on the needs of a hypothetical couple. They have been married almost 40 years and have decided to continue living in their home after retirement so they can remain near their friends, family and community services. The tour shows how you can:

  • Adapt a home for aging in place
  • Incorporate universal design into any renovation
  • Lower heating and cooling costs for years through energy-efficient home improvements
  • Save money and hassle over time through choosing low-maintenance materials and products.

The tour features before-and-after photos for cost-effective remodeling projects including a kitchen, bathroom, master bedroom and front entrance. Try the tool and find out how you can get started preparing your home for a happier retirement.
