Empty Nester Living

At Cotner Building Company we take pride in always expanding our knowledge of building techniques. It is a fact that the largest segment of the U.S. population is the Aging-In-Place or Empty Nester client. That is the reason we at Cotner Building Company continually expand our design knowledge of building scopes to specialize in offering a product that is suited for this client.  We want to service consumers who want to make their house a home for a lifetime – regardless of one’s age, or functional abilities.

Owner John Cotner is currently becoming certified as an Aging-In-Place specialist so we can offer the best service to our clients. Having this certification will help us be specially trained in:

• The unique needs of older people;
• Home modifications that can help people continue living independently in their homes longer;
• Common remodeling projects;
• Solutions to common barriers.

What are some Aging-In-Place concepts that we utlilize? As a trained CAPS professional, we seek the knowledge of the strategies and techniques for designing and building aesthetically pleasing, barrier-free living environments. We want to go beyond design to address the codes and standards, common remodeling projects, product ideas and resources needed to provide comprehensive and practical aging-in-place solutions.

Some features of an Aging-In-Place home:

• Single level living
• Accessible path of travel in the home
• Flush thresholds for ease of entry
• Clear turn space in living, kitchen, master bedrrom and bath locations
• Accessible showers and toilets
• Accessible wide doors
