You are probably familiar with the Eskaton name as the
leading provider of senior housing and social services in Northern California. I had the pleasure of attending Eskaton's VIP Grand Opening Event last week to show off their new National Demonstration Home.
Eskaton's National Demonstration home is a first-of-its-kind home that incorporates "Universal Design" principles that make the home friendlier to seniors than traditional home design. Unique features such as wider hallways, level-flooring transitions, multilevel work surfaces, zero threshold showers, occupancy sensor lighting, accessible cabinetry, security system with visual and audible alerts, remote wellness monitoring and communication and much, much more.
The Eskaton National Demonstration home, certified by Green Built Homes of America, incorporates green and healthy features. It uses advanced indoor air quality filtration and ventilation by Allergen Safe Homes, which creates hospital quality airflow in the home. It has solar power, tank-less water heaters, high efficiency lighting, GreenGuard Certified insulation, and high efficiency heating and air conditioning systems.
Builders and designers can be licensed by the Eskaton-Certified HomeTM Program. The license gives them a full suite of design specifications and permission to use the nationally recognized Eskaton name in marketing and sales literature.
Eskaton's Demonstation Home is open for tours. For more information, send an email to demohome@eskaton.org or call 1-888-933-6646. Visit their website at www.demohome.org for more information.
