Aging in place and universal design are phrases Curtis Lentz uses to describe an expanding segment of his business a growing demand for design services, products and remodeling touches developed for people who want to grow older in their homes rather than make the transition to an assisted living facility or nursing home.
Aging in place is a hot niche in the home remodeling industry, and Lentz, owner of Lentz Kitchen & Bath, in Indiana, has watched the demand for special aging-related products and services grow steadily, especially in the past decade.
His business has developed a specialization in serving those needs, and a new showroom being built at the companys headquarters at 556 Water St. will focus on universal design and aging in place merchandise for the bath and kitchen.
The demand is due in part to an aging population.
["Designs help owners age in place" is one of the featured stories today in the Gazette's special "Spring Home Show" supplement. This section is a complete guide to the Indiana-Armstrong Builders Association home show this weekend at S&T Bank Arena, with feature stories about the trends in home improvement. Read more stories like this today in "Spring Home Show," available only in The Indiana Gazette and on the Indiana Gazette ePaper website.]
Connie Merriman, one of the companys interior designers, estimates 90 percent of Lentz Kitchen & Bath remodeling projects now include aging in place or universal design touches.
Were incorporating a lot of those elements into most projects we do, she said. People are starting to approach us and ask about these products.
Merriman completed training offered by the National Association of Home Builders and is a certified aging in place specialist. She conducts seminars to make seniors and their families aware of even simple things they can do to make home environments safer and more accommodating for residents with mobility limitations.

Sheriff's Office Works To Curb Construction Site Thefts
After a series of larcenies of building materials from construction sites, the Loudoun County Sheriffs Office is asking residents to report suspicious activity at construction sites, especially during the evening and overnight, when the thefts tend to occur.
In January and February there were 29 reported larcenies from construction sites, according to the sheriff's office. In these cases, the thieves entered unfinished homes where materials, often high-priced and high-valued, and appliances are often left unsecured. The thieves have targeted tools, building materials and copper.
The Loudoun County Sheriffs Office is working with members of the building and contracting community, and we are asking residents who neighbor constructions sites to report suspicious activity, Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman said. If you see a suspicious person or a vehicle on a construction site after dark or during off-hours, be sure to report it immediately."
Residents should call the Loudoun County Sheriffs Office 24-hour-non-emergency line at 703-777-1021 to report any suspicious activity.

A two-story downtown office building with parking will be auctioned as part of Yellowstone Countys plans to remodel the courthouse.
County commissioners on Tuesday adopted a resolution to sell on April 1 the brick building at 214 N. 24th St. No one commented during a public hearing.
The commission also reduced its minimum bid to $293,000, which is the buildings estimated fair market value based on an appraisal conducted for the county by Charlie Hamwey, of Real Estate by Hamwey.
The county initially had set a minimum bid of $320,000.
Finance Director Scott Turner recommended reducing the minimum price closer to the fair market value and to hope the auction will have competitive bidding so the county can proceed with its remodeling plans.
If the county didnt sell the building for $320,000, it could not accept a lower bid and would have to try again at another auction, said Dan Schwarz, chief deputy county attorney. Schwarz also said hes shown the property to a few prospective buyers.
The county plans to use sale proceeds toward construction of a new building at MetraPark for the countys Extension Service, which is located in the courthouse. Moving Extension to MetraPark would provide courthouse space for the expansion of the county attorneys office and relocation of other offices within the courthouse. The county bought the brick building in a complicated land deal to make room for the new federal courthouse.

The executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Spartanburg will retire May 1 after building a lasting legacy with the organization.
Tom Webster has served as the executive director of Habitat of Spartanburg since 2008. He had spent the previous year volunteering in the organizations office.
I was just volunteering in the office, I didnt know too much about construction, he said. It was just a good time, good place and good opportunity.
During his time at Habitat of Spartanburg, Webster led the building of more than 30 homes for low-income families in five neighborhoods across Spartanburg County. He also worked to change the appearance of Habitat homes and made sure they lived up to energy efficiency standards.
I wanted Habitat homes to complement the neighborhoods they were in, he said, adding that concrete driveways have been used instead of asphalt and that different types of siding have been used to make sure newly-built homes fit into the neighborhoods.
The homeowners were proud, and the Habitat board was certainly proud, he said.
Webster also developed financial counseling and social service programs run through Habitat of Spartanburg. The social services program held events like health screening and job fairs across the county.
It was about more than building a house, he said. We wanted to make a positive contribution to people in the community.
Webster said he looks forward to spending time with his wife, Patricia, who recently retired from First Presbyterian Church of Spartanburg, and his grandchildren.

Work is underway on the final phase of Rotoruas Eat Streat development with most remaining work expected to be complete by the end of the month [March].
Kris Beehre, owner of Eat Streats Ambrosia Restaurant & Bar, said he was looking forward to completion of the project.
"Business has certainly improved as a result of the development and it will improve even more when the job is fully complete. Eat Streat has become a great entertainment area for Rotorua," he said.
Glass panelling along the roof structure is currently being fitted while installation of wooden dividers to separate outdoor business spaces should be finished within two weeks. Installing timber windbreaks at either end of Eat Streat starts this week.
Final touches to underfloor geothermal heating gets underway in the next few days with the innovative heating system ready for use by the end of March. Landscaping and planting will be undertaken over coming weeks and should also be finished by the end of the month.
Work to remedy the uneven surface on some parts of Eat Streats central pedestrian walkway starts tomorrow [Wednesday 12 March] and should take 10 working days to finish. A smooth cobblestone surface is being laid to replace wooden boards which have warped in some places.
Council Economic & Regulatory Services group manager Mark Rawson said the finished walkway surface would be attractive, safe, and able to bear the weight of a fully loaded fire tender or ambulance if needed in an emergency.
"While a replacement timber surface option was identified by the projects architects, that option would have taken two to three months for manufacturing and installation, and would be many times more costly than the cobblestone solution of around $30,000.
"Using cobblestones means we can swiftly respond to public safety issues, limit disruption to Eat Streat businesses and customers, and minimise cost.
"Access to caf and restaurants outdoor areas would remain available to customers throughout the final phase of work," he said.
