San Diego County homeowners ages 45 and up are invited to enter Designed for Life – Kitchen & Bath Contest. Sponsored by ReVisions Resources, and in partnership with the American Society of Interior Designers – San Diego Chapter and the AARP, the contest is part of an 18 month Aging in Place public awareness campaign to educate people on how innovative and attractive safe home modifications can be. Best Bath Systems is pleased to be providing the new bath for the contest.
To become eligible, write a brief essay on what you want and need in the design of your new kitchen or bathroom. Judges will pick a winner later this year.
Best Bath is excited to help spread the word on Aging in Place. “For a while we felt we were all alone in preaching the aging in place philosophy,” Jeff Mooney, Executive VP of Sales for Best Bath, explained. “While people are aware of the Americans with Disability Act, which focuses on public accessibility, fewer people are acquainted with the aging in place concept that allows people to stay in their own homes.”
“How many people want to go to a nursing home when they retire? They want to stay home,” Mooney said. “That’s what the aging in place concept is about. It’s not institutional. It’s about designing a space that people are comfortable with in their own homes.”
