The annual “Directory of Accessible Building Products” and the “2002 National Older Adult Housing Survey (NOAHS) Report” are two of the center’s most popular publications.
- The directory features existing products and assistive technologies for seniors and their caregivers who want to improve housing accessibility. The directory provides pictures and detailed descriptions of accessible building products in these categories: kitchen and laundry; bathrooms; doors, windows and assistive hardware; climate control; home automation; flooring; plumbing systems; ramps and handrails; stair lifts and elevators; and accessible housing plans.
The directory sells for $5.00 and is available from the NAHB Research Center’s bookstore.
- Published in collaboration with the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, the survey of older adult housing is a reference for builders, remodelers, developers, manufacturers, marketing professionals and other professionals interested in providing more focused and targeted products and services for adult consumers.
The NOAHS Report sells for $45.00 at the research center’s bookstore.
- To demonstrate available options for aging-in-place housing, the National Center for Seniors’ Housing Research designed the LifeWise Home, which was built by the NAHB Research Center in the National Research Home Park in Bowie, MD.
Based on the success of the demonstration house, the center now offers consulting services to builders, developers and others who are interested in the older adult market.
