A Home That's Right For You
The Baby Boomers are moving
through the culture like the snake that swallowed the elephant. We've passed through the hippie,
yippie, and yuppie stages, bringing with us the lion's share of the nation's economic activity.
Now we are looking at our soon-to-be empty nests and getting ready to downsize. Our homes
are our castles, but our castles are too big and unwieldy for the next phase of our lives.
We want to replace the "big white elephant" with a small gem of comfort that is accessible,
safe, and easily maintained.
Prevent Accidents, Ensure Comfort
Adelaide Altman has created a practical and timely guide to help prevent accidents, ensure
comfort, and maintain an independent, sustainable lifestyle in your own home as you age. This
could be the most exciting home renovation of your life! ElderHouse explains basic interior
design elements to maximize living pleasure in a smaller living space. These are homes that
emphasize abilities, not disabilities.
Your Home for You
Four maxims govern the design for the retrofit of your smaller, independent home:
- Begin with a dream
- Discover the fun
- Stay cool
- Be yourself
ElderHouse offers the basics for making the very most of the best house of all: your own.
Author of the Book
Adelaide Altman is professional interior architect, a former interior design editor
of major newspapers, and a syndicated design journalist.
