Aging In Place Solutions / Senior Retrofitting

Continue to enjoy your home with senior retrofitting and aging in place solutions

It is an unfortunate truth that we all age and our once comfortable homes will become filled with unwanted obstacles. Stairs, high tub walls, low counters, and other features once taken for granted can very quickly grow into problems. Luckily, there are a variety of senior retrofitting and aging in place solutions that can make navigating and living in your home easy again. Here are a few common options:

• Stairs: Stairs are incredibly strenuous for the body, but this is often something that is not appreciated until we get older. As we grow old, our stairs can quickly become an obstacle. While moving all your rooms to the first floor is an option, there are a variety of stairlifts, stair climbers, and other aging in place solutions that can make your stairs navigable again.

• Bathroom: The bathroom can quickly become a safety hazard due to the bending and climbing often involved in entering the bathtub or shower. Even using the toilet can be a problem. Shower chairs, bath benches, grab bars, easy access showers, and more can all help alleviate these problems.

• Kitchen: Your kitchen can become a problem to use due to the difficultly to access cabinets, high counters, and more. Aging in place solutions like pull-out shelves and adjustable height counters can help make it easier to use your kitchen again.

• Miscellaneous: There are also various other senior retrofitting changes that can be made to your home. If you are having trouble entering your car, bed, or simply getting out of your recliner, lifts can be installed to make these tasks easier. Motion-sensor lights, alert systems, and more can further improve the livability of your home depending on your needs.
