Richard Acree Featured in FL Herald Tribune Article about Accessible Entries

Richard Acree was featured in an article about accessible entries published in the FL Herald Tribune by Michael Moore Jr., Staff Writer in Sarasota. The article, Aging in Place: How you get inside your house matters, explains that there is a lot to consider when weighing the possibility of growing older within the comforts of your own home. Entryways, according to Richard Acree, an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) inspector and Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS), are among the most difficult and vital challenges for people to confront when looking at the long-term viability of their homes.

Acree urges people to think long term when it comes to preparing their home for the future. You could be in outstanding condition, perfectly healthy and mobile in your current state, but who’s to say if that will be the case 10, 15 or 20 years from now? A steep path to your front door might not mean much to you now, but at some point one or two steps could become a block, Acree says.

Richard Acree is a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) and owner of the consulting firm ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Inspections Nationwide.
