COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Infinite Living Secrets of The Werner House is a compelling new documentary now streaming on Amazon that illustrates the epic transformation by senior living expert, Lisa M.

The six-part documentary intimately follows the 18-month renovation from its inception, history, discoveries, challenges, and eventual triumph, to share how life-enriching technology and inclusive design can have a positive impact when aging in place at home for senior and multi-generational living.
“I’m so proud to have this incredible documentation of my journey while creating the Werner House,” says Cini. “It perfectly illustrates the love and passion that went into it, and I’m humbled by the commitment and support from my fellow industry thought leaders, colleagues, and vendors whom all believed in the vision and joined me along the way to make this project a reality.”
22-time Emmy Award winner Nick Nanton directed and produced the documentary since its inception, conveying the architectural beauty and unique details of The Werner House while capturing Lisa’s passion, determination, and resilience of spirit through fascinating anecdotal interviews with Lisa, her family, friends, colleagues, and collaborators.
Each chapter unfolds a different stage of the transformation. Episode one, “The Mansion”, follows the inspiration, purpose, and origins of The Werner House. In episode two, “The Cleanse,” viewers delve into the paranormal activities Lisa and her family experienced and how world-renowned energy worker Kim White cleanses the home of “spirits.” Episode three, “The History,” explores the mansion’s past, replete with prohibition-era secrets, vintage pictures, and how challenges were overcome from local protesters. Episode 4, “The Renovated Werner House,” realizes the results of Lisa’s tireless mission to create a home that supports aging in place and people living with disabilities through unobtrusive tech and beautiful, yet functional design curated with the help of over 50 collaborators to make The Werner House a reality.

“My mission was to merge the very best design with the most innovative technology for aging in place and senior living all in one elegant residence. The mansion provides a living example demonstrating how the latest tech and accessible design can help eliminate fear and allow aging adults to operate independently while staying connected and remaining purposeful, so they can continue to live their best lives,” adds Cini. “All generations now have the opportunity to enjoy a short-term vacation stay to experience the latest technology and determine what they might want to incorporate into their own homes.”
