DESCRIPTION:Imagine a home as a place for regeneration\, a sanctuary for he
 aling the wounds of the outside world.  It is clean\, uncluttered\, and m
 anageable\, reducing risk of disease and injury and offering restoration w
 hen the inevitable occurs. It regenerates on a daily basis\, supports good
  sleep\, encourages exercise\, and makes healthy cooking fun. This program
  has a different perspective on universal design\; emphasizing elements re
 ally wanted in a home. Universal design should be an inherent part of all 
 residential projects\, not just those for older and disabled people. Unive
 rsal design motivates you and your clients toward a healthy and long lifes
 tyle. It offers the promise of doing what you want to do--doesn’t just a
 ccommodate physical differences--and actually eliminates disability by des
 ign.\n\nRegeneration\, prevention\, motivation\, and elimination of disabi
 lity—that’s a lot to ask of a house\, but it can be done. Mary Jo Pete
 rsen\, Cynthia Leibrock and Gayla Shannon have been designing this way for
  three decades. For the last eight years Cynthia has literally been living
  with contractors to demonstrate the best of universal design--in her own 
 home. This program includes a virtual tour of this project which integrate
 s over 200 universal and green design elements. Many of these elements hav
 e been improved several times. While about half of these ideas cost less t
 han $50\, some are expensive. Soak in a bathtub inside a bathtub while exp
 erimenting with chroma-therapy\, using color to heal. Access this tub from
  a disappearing\, overhead lift. Reset your body clock with lighting to he
 lp restore circadian rhythm. Rehydrate in a steam shower after a long flig
 ht or to recover from a cold. Discover magnetic induction cooking--safer\,
  faster\, and more energy efficient. Seal in nutrients with a steam oven o
 r countertop steamer. Keep veggies fresh for weeks using dual refrigeratio
 n. Exercise in the most beautiful part of the house\, not the basement. En
 joy the adjacent hot tub as a post-workout reward. Notice relaxing views\,
  clean lines\, and the green design--not the grab bars\, gurney accessible
  bathroom\, ceiling track lift\, or accessible route through the house. Th
 ey are all there\, but invisible. The best of universal design is visually
  exciting.\n\nCynthia’s home became a necessity\, not a demo. Shortly af
 ter remodeling\, her husband tore his Achilles tendon and she had unexpect
 ed hip surgery. He was on a scooter and she was using a walker. No one els
 e was there to help. They couldn’t help each other. The hospital recomme
 nded a “rehab Facility.”  In other words\, they were heading for THE 
 HOME. Instead they headed for THEIR home\, a safe and comfortable place. T
 heirs’ is a home for regeneration\, a home for life.  \n\nIn the past t
 hirty years\, Cynthia Leibrock\, Mary Jo Petersen\, and Gayla Shannon have
  designed hundreds of projects\, presented their work internationally and 
 produced seven books on universal and health design. This program offers t
 he best of universal design\, the most applicable\, exciting\, and innovat
 ive projects and the latest research on aging in place from the U.S.\, Can
 ada\, Northern Europe\, and Japan--countries with an aging demographic and
  increased consumer demand for universal design.  This year there is a sp
 ecial emphasis on home healthcare and aging in place highlighted by Gayla 
 Shannon’s national award winning project.\n\nUniversal design encompasse
 s confusing realities. Even though clients of all ages\, sizes\, and abili
 ties need housing and accommodations to meet their needs\, many designers 
 struggle with marketing universal design services. Multi-unit housing proj
 ects of all types are required by U.S. law to accommodate the growing popu
 lation of residents with disabilities while compliance with codes and stan
 dards merely scratches the surface of universal design. Patients are being
  discharged from hospitals “sicker and quicker\,” but they are sent ho
 me to housing which either further disables or reinjures them. While most 
 older people expect to sell their homes and move into accessible housing\,
  there is little affordable accessible housing available in the U.S. We al
 l expect to occupy assisted living or skilled nursing eventually but no on
 e truly wants to live in a healthcare facility. We even buy long-term care
  insurance for that possibility. Many of us will have multiple relocations
  in our “golden” years during this confusing and segregating continuum
  of care. This program addresses all these issues and highlights a housing
  project that suggests you can truly age in place without moving. You will
  address these issues on each housing project without turning a home into 
 a hospital.\n\nThis new program showcases the best universal products and 
 projects and also examines the latest international design research on agi
 ng and home health care.  It is designed for specialists in kitchen and b
 ath design\, residential architects\, universal designers\, independent li
 ving and home healthcare providers\, and all residential interior designer
 s. We are especially interested in attracting educators who train those of
 fering universal design to future generations.\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n
 \n	Demonstrate how regeneration\, home health care\, prevention\, motivati
 on\, and elimination of disability can be accomplished through interior de
 sign\;\n	Analyze the latest research on aging in place from the U.S.\, Nor
 thern Europe\, and Japan\;\n	Apply the best universal products to design f
 or aging in place and home healthcare.\n	Offer techniques for marketing un
 iversal design on all projects\, not just select projects for select popul
 ations.\n\n\nTuition: $725.00\n\nCEUs: \n\n\n	7 AIA/CES (HSW)\n	7 LA/CES
