Aging in place ideas
Aging in place home remodeling methods are meant to create a safe place that is easier to live in.
Bathrooms
Bathroom functionality and accessibility is very important when it comes to aging in place. Things such as adding an easy-access shower, changing the layout of the room, or even changing the location of the bathroom can help out tremendously. In addition, raising the height of your toilet or adding a seating area in your tub or shower can greatly improve functionality.
Kitchens
A kitchen designed specifically for aging in place can drastically improve the health and well-being of a person. Constructing larger gaps between counters and islands can make it much easier to maneuver, especially for wheelchairs. Easy-to-reach storage, easy-to-operate faucets, and easy-to-open appliances are great for improved functionality.
Room Accessibility
Having rooms easily accessible should be a top priority for a person aging in place. Features such as widened hallways, widened doors, elevators, or lifts make great additions to a home.
Reducing Slips & Trips
Trips and falls are one of the leading causes of injury and death in the 65 and older age group. Aging-in-place remodeling projects for reducing slips and trips include slip-resistant flooring and adding grab bars.
