As the regions first Certified Active Adult Specialist in Housing (CAASH), Prairie View Homes is leading the way in design and development of a fresh, truly unique lifestyle for the active adult.
The Easy Access for Green Living™ design principles are unique to Prairie View Homes and deliver a complete system to future proof - or extend one's ability to cost-effectively and stylishly 'age in place'. Any architectural style can be used with our Easy Access for Green Living concepts.
Aging in Place
Natural lighting, a toxin-free environment and low cost of operation complements universal design elements such as stepless entry, stoopless appliance placement and open and accessible bathrooms and hallways. Special attention is paid to built-in storage and space saving design for buyers savvy about the not-so-big-house philosophy.
Universal Design
To lengthen the time Boomers stay self-reliant in their own home, active adult home design needs to be absent of barriers to age-related mobility issues. Universal Design such as stepless entry, stoopless appliance placement, open and accessible bathrooms and hallways and a home elevator benefit the Boomer buyer looking to extend their aging-in-place capability.
When you include universal design features for your new home, you make it more user-friendly for you, your family, your guests and your future. The aesthetics of universally-design Prairie View Home is so attractive that you don't realize it incorporates universal design - it's simply a home that everyone would want.
Renovate to Age in Place
A new custom home affords the greatest flexibility in designing amenities to meet aging-in-place goals. However, a growing number of home owners prefer to stay in their existing home. Kitchen and bath renovations with a focus on whole-house energy efficiency are easy and cost effective. As a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS), we offer expertise in remodeling existing homes to meet the needs of the 50+ housing market.
