Floor Plans for Aging-in-Place

  • Widening of hallways and entryways to make them wheelchair accessible for seniors can be important for aging-in-place remodels
  • Adding chair lifts or elevators can make it possible to stay in your own home for many years
  • Single story living is a must for many retirees. We can help you fix up your house to age in place in comfort without having to use the stairways

Exterior Upgrades for Retirement

  • Siding repairs can save you the trouble of ongoing maintenance
  • Fixing your deck or patio can improve safety, and deck remodeling such as adding ramps and widening access can make your outdoor space easier to navigate
  • Landscaping changes such as plants that are easier to preserve cut down on the need for yard work and water

Bathroom Upgrades for Retired Life

Repairing and remodeling tiny bathrooms can help you age in place by:

  • Adding grip bars for stability
  • Replacing faucets
  • Adding turnaround space
  • Adding a seat in the shower
  • Adding lights in the shower stall for better visibility
  • Installing bracing around the tub and toilet to prevent slips and falls
  • Raising toilets to make it easier to sit and stand
  • Separate apartments for caregivers

The Small Stuff Matters in Retirement Remodels

  • Installation of non-slippery hard floors and replacing of impractical carpet with new carpet of 1.5-inch pile can make wheelchair access simple
  • Small changes like doorknob replacement with levers and easier-to-operate windows, thermostats moved lower on the wall, light switches near doors, and installation of emergency 911 buttons can make aging-in-place independently more convenient

Entryway Remodeling for Seniors

  • Putting in non-slip flooring can improve safety
  • Additional lighting, flat doorways and garage additions make living at home in retirement easier
  • Wheelchair ramps to exterior doors and in garages can make it easier for aging adults to come and go

Adapting just one bedroom for you to stay in so caregivers can be with you while you live in retirement can be perfect. Ask about remodeling just one bathroom or installation of an chair lift to make this possible.
