Structural Remodels for Aging-in-Place

  • Building wider halls and doorways to make them easier for wheelchairs to go through can be important for aging-in-place services
  • Installation of chair lifts or installation of elevators can make living at home a real possibility
  • One-level homes are a requirement for many senior citizens. We can help you fix up your place to age in place in comfort without having to navigate stairs

Exterior Upgrades for Your Golden Years

  • Brick or siding replacement and upgrades can save you the hassle of ladders and painting
  • Fixing your deck or patio can improve safety, and remodeling such as new ramps and widening access can make navigation easier
  • Landscaping changes such as plants that are easier to preserve cut down on the need for gardening, weeding and watering

Bathroom Upgrades for Retired Life

Remodeling small bathrooms can help you age in place by:

  • Adding grip bars for stability
  • Replacing faucet handles
  • Adding space to turn around in
  • Installing a fold-down bench in the shower for safety
  • Adding lights in the shower stall for better visibility
  • Installing bracing around the tub and toilet to prevent slips and falls
  • Raising toilet seats to make it easier to sit and stand
  • Separate apartments for caregivers

Little Stuff Matters in Retirement Remodels

  • Installing non-slip tiles and replacing of impractical carpet with new carpet of less than 1.5-inch pile can make wheelchair access simple
  • Small changes such as new levers instead of knobs and easy open windows and blinds, thermostats moved lower on the wall, light switches near entryways, and installation of security systems can make aging-in-place more convenient

Entryway Remodels for Seniors

  • Installation of non-slip flooring can improve everyday welfare
  • Added automatic lighting, unraised doorways and additional garage space make senior living and care for aging adults easier
  • Wheelchair ramps to front doors, back doors and in garages can make it easier for aging adults to come and go

Updating a bedroom for yourself so caregivers can be with you while you live in retirement can be ideal. Ask about changes to a single bathroom or installation of an chair lift to make this possible.
