Default Re: Houses made aging friendly.

When my wife and I did our lifestyle preview visit last month we noticed that the houses in TV actually have a lot of features that are aging friendly. For example, they use levers for door handles instead of the round door knobs that most houses use. The levers are a lot easier to use when you have arthritis. My wife is disabled and noticed that the regular showers have a low step over height making them easier to get into. Also, they offer the Roman showers with seats in them as options on houses. Like most houses in Florida, the houses are all on one floor unlike the current raised ranch that my wife and I have.
