May 29, 2026 · 11 min · Ep 3

Are you currently in your forever home? Would you like it to be?

The features that make it hard to stay in any house forever are pretty simple: stairs, bedrooms, doorways and maintenance.

Tune in for a quick overview of options to upgrade your home so that you CAN stay there forever!

1) bedroom conversion for main floor living

2)addition or attached dwelling unit (ADU)

3) stair lift, ramps (rare), elevators (super rare if not part of original design)

4) bathroom access - door width, zero entry shower, grab bars

5) Detached accesstory dwelling unit (DADU) totally separate living space with bathroom, kitchen and living space on the same lot.
