Resort-Retirement
Home Becoming
Trend in America
Scientific advancements
that have given men and wom
en longer life expectancies
have sparked a new trend, in
planning vacation houses so
they can be finished into per
manent year-round homes
for retirement years.
More than 75,000 dwellings
of this type are now being
built throughout the country,
reports the Construction Re
search bureau, national clear
ing house for building infor
mation. And, despite the at
tractions of warm - climate
areas, most of these combina
tion homes are being built
within a few miles of home
towns so their owners can
remain close to relatives and
lifelong friends when they
retire.
The new vacation-retirement
home evolving is more
sturdy and permanent than
old-style summer cottages and
yet more modest and informal
than suburban or country
homes. Economical and easy
maintenance are key design
factors. Long-lasting interior
finishes that lighten house
work and eliminate costly re
decorating such as easy-to-clean
plastic-coated wallpa
pers and wall panels, Kentile
vinyl asbestos floor tile and
ceramic tile bathroom walls
are being used widely.
Safety and Comfort
The vacation - retirement
home also is being designed
for safety and comfort, both
for the present and when its
owner retires. In most cases,
full-sized kitchens are being
used, because compactness
usually results in hard-to-reach
storage areas. Many
have separate waist-high wall
ovens to eliminate a need for
bending. Other work-saving
conveniences such as dish
washers and electric can
openers are becoming popu
lar in vacation homes.
In the bathroom, bath tubs
are used, rather than show
ers, usually with built-in cor
ner seats. Grab bars are in
stalled on walls above the
tub, with non-slip mats in
side. Stairs are especially dan
gerous unless certain safety
devices are used. Many vacation-retirement
homes are be
ing built with ramps in place

of steps. And where steps are
necessary, continuous hand
rails are Installed on both
sides and bottom and top steps
are painted in light colors
for easy visibility.
To Avoid Fatigue
Throughout the house every
effort is made to avoid fa
tigue, such as making sure
shelves and cabinets can be
reached without a ladder and
without bending. As a rule,
homes intended for retire
ment are designed to limit
the need to reach above 63
inches high or below 27 inches
from the floor.
Raised door saddles or
thresholds that could cause
falls usually are omitted to
assure safety and sliding clos
et doors are used wherever
possible to eliminate the haz
ard of walking into open
doors. Easy-to-grasp door
knobs that are hexagonal or
octagonal, rather than round,
are being used. Often, lever
type handles are substituted
for knobs.
Air conditioning is being
put in some vacation-retirement
homes to reduce house
work as well as to provide
comfort. Air conditioners keep
out much of the dust and soil
that would normally enter the
home through open doors and
windows.
