Universal Home Design: The Right Choice Now
The ultimate goal of Universal Design (UD) is to create a home that works for everyone; now and in the future. This brilliant design makes homes accessible and safer as you age and allows maximum access for those with disabilities. Universal Design can make each room accessible, reduce home accidents and potentially increase resale value.
Age in Place
Perhaps best of all, UD, with just a few important renovations, lets you age in place in the home and neighborhood you love. People live longer today. This creates a greater need for safe living spaces to accommodate extended life spans. Living at home is a less expensive option than moving into an assisted living facility. Another dramatic feature: Universal Design helps homes appreciate in real value. A home built for safety and accessibility appeals to more future buyers. This can protect the value of your home when the housing market declines. Protect your future and get your home ready with Universal Design by calling in the experts, Glickman|Design Remodel Build.

A Business Built on Trust
Glickman has been creating beautiful, well-crafted renovations using Universal Design principals even before it was called UD. For decades any kind of specialized residential design that was needed to meet the needs of the elderly or disabled was known as “Handicapped”. Now as people are living much longer and the cost of assisted living has sky-rocked, the principals of UD have become necessary to meet the needs of the elderly, handicapped and middle aged people who realize that their quality of life is greatly enhanced when they are able to stay in their homes.
Russ Glickman learned this valuable lesson over 30 years ago when his son was born with Cerebral Palsy. Since that day, Russ has committed himself to helping children. adults with those with disabilities live better lives through better home design.
