One of the biggest trends in Home Building is Modifying or Adapting the Home for health reasons. To properly Age in Place, we need to understand the various roles that stakeholders play in properly modifying or building a new home.
At one time this market was a small niche, but since Covid, it has burgeoned to 11 Million Canadians spending a projected $87 Billion dollars over the next few years to make these changes.
Unlike most renovations or new builds, home modifications can involve a wide array of stakeholders from family caregivers, occupational therapists, home medical equipment (elevators, stairlifts) providers, chronic disease specialists, insurance providers and injury lawyers. A contractor-builder working in this space needs to be aware of the requirements each participant brings to a modification project.
You will also have direct access during the morning to several recent graduates of the Adaptiv Home Course of CHBA, including 2 of the authors involved in the project from the start and John Tom from Superior Home Health Barrie. There are currently 30,000 homes in Simcoe Country requiring some sort of modification for safe living. If your organization provides services or products to address this need, then this professional symposium is for you.
