The Little Stuff Matters in Age in Place Remodels
- Installation of non-slippery hard floors and replacement of impractical carpet with new carpet of less than 1.5-inch pile can make wheelchair access simple
- Simple changes like new levers instead of knobs and easy open windows and blinds, thermostats moved to easier-to-reach places, light switches near doors, and installation of security systems can make retiring at home independently more convenient
Entryway Remodels for Seniors
- Flooring that isn't slippery can keep you safe
- Added automatic lighting, unraised thresholds and additional garage space make senior life easier
- Wheelchair accessibility ramps to front doors, back doors and in garages can make it easier for aging adults to come and go
Adapting just one area of your home for you to stay in so caregivers can be with you while you live in retirement can be he best option. Ask about changes to just one bathroom or the addition of an electric chair lift to make this possible.
