Universal Design & Aging-in-Place Consultation in Honolulu

Make Your Home Safe, Stylish, and Ready for the Future

As families grow and change, so should your home. Whether you're caring for aging parents, thinking about your own needs as you grow older, or planning a space that works for everyone—universal design helps make your home safer, easier to move around in, and more comfortable for every generation. In Honolulu, where many homes are shared by multiple generations, this type of design is especially important. Home Planning Hawaii connects you with professionals who specialize in universal design and aging-in-place planning. Together, you can create a home that supports independence, safety, and beauty— now and in the years to come.

What Is Universal Design and Aging-in-Place?

Universal design is a way of building or remodeling that makes a home work for people of all ages and abilities. Aging-in-place means making your home safe and usable as you grow older, so you can stay there longer without needing to move or make big changes later.

Common Features:

  • Zero-step entrances (no stairs)
  • Wider doorways and hallways
  • Walk-in showers with no barriers
  • Grab bars and handrails
  • Lever-style door handles and faucets
  • Good lighting and easy-to-reach switches
  • Open floor plans that allow for wheelchair or walker use
Why It’s Important in Honolulu

Support Multigenerational Living

Many Honolulu families share homes with grandparents, parents, and children. A smart design helps everyone feel comfortable and independent.

Plan Ahead for Aging

Making changes now can help avoid the need for expensive renovations later. It also gives peace of mind.

Improve Daily Comfort and Safety

Even small upgrades—like better lighting or wider hallways—can make a big difference for safety and ease of movement.
