This label means that the appliance meets or exceeds energy efficiency standards set by the EPA.
Aging With Ease
According to the AARP, 87 percent of adults over the age of 65 want to stay in their current home and community as they age. The catch? A large amount of homes are not accessible as we age. While this may require an entire home renovation, a good place to start is the kitchen and bathrooms.
