Education: Forever Homes 101

Forever Home 101: Building for a Lifetime

This 3-hour interactive course explores the often-overlooked elements that allow homeowners to safely and comfortably remain in their homes as they age. Moving beyond standard accessibility features, this class dives into real-life challenges faced by individuals and caregivers when homes are not designed with long-term living in mind.

Participants will gain insight into how thoughtful design decisions made early can prevent costly renovations, reduce physical strain, and improve quality of life over time. Through practical examples and lived experiences, we’ll examine what truly works and what doesn’t, when it comes to aging in place.

The course encourages open discussion, giving contractors the opportunity to share past project experiences, challenges, and solutions. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies for integrating these concepts into their work, along with guidance on how to communicate their value to clients and position these features as meaningful project upgrades.

Whether you’re looking to expand your service offerings or better meet the needs of your clients, this class provides the tools and perspective to build homes that truly last a lifetime.
