Ep 7 – Designing for aging parents
Aging parents. Family members with chronic health conditions. These are topics we don’t like thinking about, but what happens when it comes time to make the decision about where they live when they can no longer live alone? And what impact, if any, does their home environment and design have to do with their quality of life? The answer is.. a lot! In this episode, I interview Dr. Rebecca Tapia, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist who has a special interest in multigenerational design.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1. How home design impacts quality of life and independence.
2. Specifics to really things about if you’re considering having an aging or ill family member move in with you.
3. How we can use design to serve those who we care about the most.
