Product Description:

Participants will learn that By 2030, Florida will be home to more than 9.7 million seniors over the age of 65. One in four households will include someone aged 65 or older. Demand for housing will shift dramatically and the need for services to help older adults and persons with disabilities to remain active and independent in their home and community will grow exponentially. Florida is also home to 3.5 million families with disabilities. Universal Design features allow the same quality of life enchantments for individuals aging as those with disabilities. Presenters will discuss the acceptance of Universal Design features as standardized home design elements and accessibility to community resources and amenities as avenues to independent living.
