			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-217" title="Remodeling for aging" src="http://www.mccalebconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/remodel-shower.jpg" alt="Remodeling for aging" width="266" height="157" />Simply put, Aging in Place means living in one’s home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level.  It means the pleasure of remaining in a familiar environment throughout one’s maturing years, and the ability to enjoy the familiar daily rituals and the special events that enrich all our lives.</p>
<p>Projects for Aging in Place remodeling range from installation of bath and shower grab bars and adjustment of countertop heights to the creation of multi-functional first-floor master suites and the installation of private elevators.  <a href="http://www.mccalebconstruction.com/2009/10/common-aging-in-place-products-and-services/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE FOR A LIST OF COMMONLY REQUESTED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES</a>. McCaleb Construction staff is trained in the mechanics and nuances of effective assessment of clients’ needs and integrating myriad considerations into functional solutions.</p>
<p>Most homeowners prefer to remain in their homes as they mature, rather than seek assisted living or other arrangements.  And, older consumers want a reliable means of identifying the professionals they can trust to remodel their homes.  Millions in the Baby Boom generation will turn 55 years old this year and millions more will cross this significant threshold in the next 15 years.  About 80% of all Americans 55 years or older currently own their own homes, making it the highest rate of homeownership of any age group in the country.  Members of this population group also tend to be healthier than previous generations of similar age, and expect their homes to reflect their active and independent lifestyles.</p>
