At T-Square Company, we’ve spent more than 30 years helping families create homes that are safe, comfortable, and built for every stage of life. Now, our President and Owner, David L. Traut, has brought that same experience and passion to the page in his book: Age in Place at Home: Adapting the Home Environment for All Generations.


Why This Book Matters

The concept of “aging in place” is simple but powerful: with the right planning and design, people can continue living independently in the homes they love, even as their needs change. For many, staying home means holding on to dignity, comfort, and treasured memories.

Drawing on his decades of work as a builder and CAPS-certified professional, David wrote Age in Place at Home to be more than just a construction guide. It’s a roadmap for homeowners, families, caregivers, and professionals who want practical solutions and peace of mind.


What You’ll Learn Inside

  • Home Modifications That Matter Most — from safe bathrooms to wider doorways, grab bars, and better lighting.

  • Universal Design Principles — creating beautiful spaces that work for everyone, not just those with special needs.

  • Fall Prevention & Safety Tips — simple adjustments that make a big difference in daily life.

  • Planning for the Future — how to think ahead so your home adapts gracefully as life changes.

  • Resources & Guidance — including checklists, questions to ask contractors, and financial assistance options.


Who Should Read It

  • Homeowners who want to prepare their house for the future.

  • Families caring for aging loved ones.

  • Builders, designers, and architects interested in Universal Design.

  • Anyone who believes that home should always be a place of safety, dignity, and belonging.

Final Thoughts

This book is more than a professional resource — it’s a personal mission. As David often says, “Home isn’t just where you live. It’s where you belong.”

At T-Square Company, we’re proud to bring that philosophy to life every day — and now, through Age in Place at Home, we’re excited to share it with readers everywhere.
