“Aging in Place: Adapting
Your Home to Your Needs”
July/August 2011
– By Bobby Assadourian
Is your home able to adapt to your changing needs?
Should you have someone upgrade it, or can you do it
yourself?
The kitchen is a room where you need a real barrierfree professional. Depending on your physical needs,
the entire kitchen may have to be redesigned, ie: adding
special drop-down baskets that can be installed into all
the upper cabinets, lowering counter-top height, nearby
eat-in kitchen and even downsizing the amount of
kitchen-ware so you don’t have to reach up every time
you need a special dish.
Typical bathrooms will never accommodate someone
with the slightest mobility challenge. You may require a
stair lift. Adjustable beds and supports have come a long
way! Automatic motion lights make complete sense for all
entry and exit points to your home. And there’s more...
“Mom and Dad are Moving In!”
Spring 2012
– By Lou Volk
The aging of North Americans and the rising cost of
housing are bringing families back together, and we feel
this is a good trend.
The main request is that mom and dad want a bright
space. Sticking people in the dungeon-like basement
generally does not work. Therefore, homes with walk-out
basements are routinely sourced out and provide private
access and lots of light.
It does make economical sense though. We had a
recent case where two $300,000+ homes were sold and
one $450,000 home purchased. This allowed mom and
dad to have some additional discretionary income and
not be relegated to the “lonely waste land”.
Smart articles. Just for YOU!

– From the book by Raymond Francis, M.Sc.
Francis, a scientist, nearly died 27 years ago from liver
failure at the height of an international consulting career.
He brought himself back to health using his knowledge
of biochemistry. Since then, he has been spreading the
message that health is a choice, and he has taught tens
of thousands how to choose it. Now 75 and in perfect
health, he takes no drugs, has boundless energy, a sharp
mind, no aches or pains, and has had only one cold in
the last 25 years.
Through his book, Francis teaches that “Cancer isn’t
something that can be cut, poisoned or burned out
of the body. It is a biological process that needs to be
shut down.”
