Don't Get "Aged Out" of Your Home!
Discover the freedom ActiveWest Builders can provide.
 Aging in Place (AIP) home modification is a viable and affordable option for seniors, people with disabilities, or adult children whose parent (s) are living with them, and need to improve their home’s functionality. ActiveWest is experienced with Universal Design and Age in Place options for seniors and understands disability code requirements.
AIP refers to living where you have lived for years, using products, services, and conveniences, allowing you to remain home as circumstances change. You’re in control of your quality of life and independence as well as lessening the burden on family.
INVEST IN YOUR WELL BEING & YOUR HOME! Do your research and look at the facts – In Kootenai County and the Spokane area The average cost of assisted living is between $2,600 and $3,000 PER MONTH with some places charging almost $6,000 per month for a semi-private room! Modifying your home is a fraction of those costs and adds value!
Whether you want to add some decorative grab bars in your bathroom or need an immediate modification as a result of a sudden life changing even – WE’RE HERE TO HELP!
