LECTURE BY SHARON FOGO & BILL UNGAR

Call it universal design, accessibility, aging in place, or simply living in place; most Canadian seniors want to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. Having a plan gives you the best chance to have a positive life experience as you age.
If you are a near senior or senior who is thinking about your aging in place environment and would like to learn more about planning and products for an accessible bathroom to prepare your home for your later years, this lecture is for you.
This is a return lecture from the summer 2024 “Accessibility Series”
