GROW-WITH-ME RENOVATIONS
Accessible Renovations for Children & Youth
Grow‑with‑Me is more than just accessible design — it’s thoughtfully crafting a home that evolves with you and your child's needs.
Accessible and inclusive design ensures that family members will not only safely grow into their surroundings - their home will also be a place where everyone can thrive.
What are Grow-With-Me Renovations?
Grow-with-Me Renovations recognizes the unique requirements of designing safe & functional spaces that support your child as they grow.
In contrast to the well-known concept of 'Aging-in-Place' for older adults and seniors - parents of children living with disabilities deserve language that represents their unique needs.
BuildAble's Co-founder, Clinical Nurse Specialist (& momma) has been leading the development of Grow-With-Me as a distinct renovation concept and terminology for kids & youth requiring accessible accommodations at home.
DESIGNING + BUILDING
FOR GROWING INDEPENDENCE.
From changes and growth in physical size, to potential changes in abilities, health and various stages of development - there can be a lot to consider when planning for their accessible renovation.
Here are a few details our team can discuss with you:
​​​
-
Thoughtful design to avoid future renovations: incorporating features that can be easily adjusted or modified as mobility, equipment, or care requirements change over time.
​
-
Proper access supports for caregivers and/or family members - so that care can be safely provided without causing personal injury.
​
-
For the love of teens! Space(s) that will adapt to their privacy needs as they grow.​
​
-
What to modify now - and what to wait on. Depending on your child's unique needs - some modifications may be worth holding out on!
​
-
Other kids or family members in the house: Adapting a space can be a big change for everyone - we want to make sure all members are included & considered in the process!
​​
-
​Kids are still kids! Put up the dragon & unicorn pictures. Paint the rainbows! Decor can change - but the safety & support will always be there.
Benefits of Grow-With-Me Design & Renovations
The childhood home can be a bridge between support and self-direction.
Reducing or removing barrier in the home can be a critical indicator for families to foster safety, independence & well-being into adulthood.
​
Safety + Accessibility in the home is directly related to less falls and serious injuries for your child - and YOU or their caregivers.
​
Setting your child up for success if they are able to move out when they are older - or after we (the parents) are gone.​
I hired BuildAble to renovate my bathroom into a completely accessible bathroom, including a roll-in shower and a custom roll-under vanity. BuildAble were easy to work with, communicated well on all aspects of the decision-making process, were on-time, professional, clean, and most importantly did an amazing job! They are very knowledgeable and well-versed in the area of accessible renovations and needs. The workmanship was excellent and I am very happy with the final result. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to others.
