BEVERLY, MA… A special showing of the award-winning documentary, “Lives Well Lived” at the Cabot Theatre in Beverly was well-received and marked the launch of Beverly Main Streets “Downtown for All” initiative, which would make the city of Beverly more accessible and open to everyone.
Gary Moffie, CGR, CAPS, UDCP, president of Beverly, MA based The Remodeling Company who serves on the Board of Directors for Beverly Main Streets and is the committee Chair of Downtown for All, was instrumental in obtaining the rights to show this film.
“Beverly Main Streets is developing a program that would make the city of Beverly more accessible and open to everyone – from senior citizens to people with disabilities to families with children,” explained Moffie. “The film celebrates the wit and wisdom of age, and the purpose of showing it ties in to our efforts to making Beverly more accessible for all.”
The focus of the Downtown for All program is to incorporate universal design, which increases accessibility, improves safety and convenience, while also looking aesthetically pleasing. Numerous factors are addressed through universal design including fall prevention, enhanced visibility, and challenges pertaining to dexterity.
Moffie is a Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR) and Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) who is also certified by National Association of The Remodeling Industry (NARI) as a Universal Design Certified Professional (UDCP) and is an authority on universal design and aging in place.
More events are being planned for later this year. For information and updates, visit the Beverly Main Streets website, www.bevmain.org.
