Bathrooms
A common focus of aging-in-place is the bathroom and for a good reason. The bathroom is easily the most dangerous room in the house. Sharp corners, wet floors, and tile, hard surfaces…it’s easy to see why. And, for that reason, many people begin their remodeling in the bathroom.
Simple changes to a bathroom can make a big difference. Today’s remodeling options include bath bars, step through tubs, curbless showers, and comfort-height toilets. Additionally, open floor plans reduce floor clutter and eliminate danger zones for falling.
Kitchens
Many of the hazards in the bathroom exist in the kitchen. So Aging-in-Place modifications with safety in mind are just as necessary here. Luckily, for all homeowners, intelligent home design has become more and more common. That same intelligent design is a boon for Aging-in-Place. The modifications in kitchen remodeling are almost endless and include:
- Lower sinks and counters
- Nonslip flooring
- Adjustable cabinets and drawers
- Motorized or pull-down shelves
- Safety rails
- Sensor design faucets
Universal Design
Aging-in-Place began with Universal Design (UD). UD stresses function with style. Meeting needs of aging homeowners made interiors feel more like a hospital. UD changed that trend. Today, your home can be accessible and maintain the style you want. Universal Design if functionality for all ages
