As more homeowners in Southeast Wisconsin plan for the future, aging in place is becoming an increasingly popular choice. Rather than moving to a senior living facility or downsizing, many are choosing to remodel their existing homes with features that support long-term living.
At LaBonte Construction, we help you create beautiful, functional spaces that make aging in place not just possible, but enjoyable.
Stay in the Home and Neighborhood You Love
One of the most significant benefits of aging in place is the ability to remain in familiar surroundings. Whether your home is near Lake Michigan or nestled in the Mequon area, your community holds sentimental and practical value. Remodeling allows you to:
- Maintain proximity to friends, family, and services.
- Avoid the stress and expense of moving.
- Continue enjoying the local amenities you’ve grown to love.
Customize Your Space for Comfort and Accessibility
Every aging in place remodel is different, because every homeowner’s needs are different. Remodeling gives you the opportunity to tailor your space to meet current and future mobility requirements without sacrificing style.
Popular features include:
- Wider doorways
- Walk-in showers with bench seating
- Non-slip flooring
- Strategic lighting
- First-floor bedroom suites
- Lever-style door handles
- Accessible cabinetry

By making smart improvements now, you can reduce future expenses and add long-term value to your home.
Boost Property Value with Smart, Future-Proof Design
Homes with aging in place features are increasingly attractive to buyers—especially in multi-generational households or among aging baby boomers. Even if you’re not planning to sell anytime soon, making these updates now means your home will remain competitive and functional for years to come.
