Floor Plans for Aging-in-Place

  • Expanding narrow hallways and entryways to make them easier for wheelchairs to go through can be vital for aging-in-place services
  • Installation of electric chair lifts for stairs or installation of elevators can make it possible to stay in your own home for many years
  • One-floor homes are a must for today's seniors. We can help you remodel your place to age in place comfortably without having to navigate stairs

Senior Home Exterior Remodeling

  • Brick or siding replacement and upgrades can end the work of ladders and painting
  • Fixing your deck or patio can keep you and your visitors safe, and remodeling such as adding ramps and widening access can make your outdoor space easier to navigate
  • Landscaping changes such as plants that are simple to preserve can reduce the need for yard work and water

Upgrade the Bathroom for Retirement

Remodeling small bathrooms can help you live at home during retirement by:

  • Adding grip bars for stability
  • Replacing faucet handles
  • Adding space to turn around in
  • Installing a fold-down seat in the shower
  • Adding overhead lighting in the shower stall
  • Installing grab bars around the toilet and bath to prevent slips and falls
  • Raising toilet seats
  • Separate spaces for caregivers

The Small Stuff Matters in Retirement Remodels

  • Installing non-slip tiles and replacing of old rugs with new carpet of less than 1.5-inch pile can make wheelchair accessibility simple
  • Simple changes such as new levers instead of knobs and easier-to-operate windows, thermostats moved lower on the wall, light switches near entryways, and installation of emergency 911 switches can make retiring at home independently more convenient

Doors and Ramps for Aging-in-Place

  • Tile and concrete that isn't slippery can keep you safe
  • Additional lighting, flattened thresholds and garage additions make senior life easier
  • Wheelchair accessibility ramps to exterior doors and in garages can make coming and going less stressful when aging-in-place

Updating a bedroom for yourself so caregivers can be with you while you age in place can be perfect. Ask about remodeling a single bathroom or the addition of an electric chair lift to make this possible.
