“aging-in-place”

If you asked that average UK builder if they were qualified to advise about aging-in-place, that is assuming you could ever get them to return your telephone call to ask them the question, you wouldn’t get much more than a few grunts.

In the US you might get a different, more positive response. Instead of being whisked off to a “retirement village/compound” you can have your house modified to enable you to live there as long as possible. What a sensible idea.

Sounds like the US building authorities have got more about them than their UK counterparts. Read all about it here. Dick Stroud
