Floor Plans for Senior Care Remodeling

• Building wider halls and doorways to make them wheelchair accessible for seniors can be necessary for aging-in-place services
• Installation of electric chair lifts or installation of elevators can make living at home a real possibility
• One-floor living is a must for many retirees. We can help fix up your place to age in place comfortably without having to navigate stairs

Exterior Upgrades for Retirement

• Siding replacement and upgrades can save you the work of painting, climbing ladders and more
• Deck repairs can keep you safe, and deck remodeling such as adding ramps and wider access can make it easier to get around
• Landscaping changes such as plants that are easier to maintain cut down on the need for yard work and water

Remodel the Bathroom for Retirement

These aging-in-place bathroom renovations can help you greatly during retirement at home:

• Adding bracing in the shower
• Replacing faucets so you don’t have to twist your wrists
• 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 grab bars around the toilet and bath to prevent dangerous falls
• Raising toilet seats
• Separate spaces for caregivers

Accessory Details to Make Life at Home Better

• Installing non-slip hard floors and replacing impractical rugs with new carpet of less than 1.5-inch pile can make wheelchair accessibility simple
• Minor changes like new levers instead of knobs and easy open windows and blinds, thermostats moved to easier-to-reach places, light switches near entryways, and installation of security systems can make aging-in-place more convenient

Entryway Remodels for Seniors

• Flooring that isn’t slippery can keep you safe
• Motion lighting, flat thresholds and additional garage space make senior life easier
• Wheelchair ramps to front doors, back doors and in garages can make coming and going less stressful when aging-in-place

Adapting just one area of your home for you to stay in so your family can be with you while you age-in-place can be the best option. Ask about remodeling a single bathroom or the addition of an electric chair lift to make this possible.
