Hugh is a stroke victim who was selected for a home
makeover by Aging In Place. His long time home had
architectural barriers that hindered Hughs comfort and
ability to live safely.
The Aging In Place design team moved walls, gave him a
shower that he can use and made other modifications that
physically challenged seniors require. These changes will
enable Hugh to live comfortably and remain in the
community with his many long time friends.

Letters were collected from seniors who wrote in
asking for the makeover. Hugh Finley simple wrote "I
would like to be able to take a shower". This
heartwarming request was our winner.
The main features of this bathroom is a level floor
shower with a seat and many options for shower
sprays, a toilet with sensors that open and close the lid
in addition to several cleansing options with a dryer.
