Dan Ernst

Daniel Ernst has been remodeling homes across the country for over forty years, dating back when pneumatic tools and cell phones didn't exist - the horror! Modifying homes for the elderly has been his focus for the past decade, allowing his clients to stay put, postponing or eliminating the need for a move to elderly housing. He found it to be extremely rewarding and he has met many older people with fascinating stories and lives.

Dan's first book, Forever Home - A Guide to Creating a Safe and Happy Space for Aging Parents, is meant to be a thought provoking insight for adult children assisting with their elderly parents' current living situation. It is a concise guide that will help you to understand your parents' concerns as you work together to improve accessibility of their home and surroundings. It is eye opening for people in their fifties and sixties as they contemplate retrofitting their own homes.

Dan currently lives in Colorado and spends his time off cycling and playing tennis. After a day of busy activities, Dan is finding the benefits of these adaptations in his own home. If you drive by Dan's house in the evening, you'll probably see him enjoying a glass or three of French wine, while trying to catch up on his reading, an impossible task.
