About us
Hi there! We’re Golden, a home modification platform—think of us like a one-stop shop for figuring out what changes around the house might make everyday life a little bit easier. We’ll help define your needs, design your project, and connect you with a vetted contractor. And like any good partner, we’ll be with you along the project journey and make sure things turn out as good as planned.
We know how stressful it can be to make changes to your home, so we’re here to help. Whether you need some minor changes like adding grab bars, or a bigger project like renovating your entire bathroom or kitchen to be more accessible, we’ll work with you from start to finish. Rest assured, your home is going to be awesome!
We’re on a mission to support you or your loved ones in the journey to make home safer, more comfortable, and just plain awesome.
We imagine a world where every single person can age in place safely in the place they call home.
Our why
There are over 54 million people who are 65 years or older, making this the fastest growing age group in the US. By 2040, older adults will comprise 1 in 5 people in this country. With only 6.5% of older adults living in assisted living facilities or nursing homes, the vast majority of us and the people we love will have to contemplate the question of how we age in our homes safely, comfortably, and with dignity.
Home modifications play a critical role in enabling seniors to age in place with greater comfort, independence, and improved health outcomes. Every second an older adult falls, leading to 1 in 4 older adults falling each year. Falls are the number one cause of injury and injury deaths among adults 65+, with majority of falls taking place at home. While home modifications do not solve all problems when it comes to aging in place, we believe they are the best place to start. Not only do home modifications reduce the number of in-home care hours needed, it gives people the independence to comfortably live in the place they call home.
On a personal note, like almost everyone else, we and our parents have had to ponder the question of what it means to get older. How do we keep doing the things we love to do in the places we love to do them? How do we best best handle challenging transitions? What can we do to make things a little bit easier? Along the way, we realized it would have been a big help if we had someone who we trusted to help us.
So we’re here to offer that help to you, so you don’t have to go it alone.
