Aging in Place Remodeling in Kelowna

Remove slip, trip and fall hazards

• Inspect thresholds: The transition in flooring between rooms may be uneven. Therefore, you should inspect all thresholds to ensure they are secure and undamaged. If your home is missing thresholds, you may want to install them. 
• Remove rugs: While rugs add some coziness to any home, they may also cause you to lose your footing. Consequently, you should remove rugs, especially if they have a tendency to bunch or roll. 
• Eliminate tripping dangers: Electrical cords, coffee tables, ottomans, pet beds and other items may cause you to trip. Eliminating these dangers or securing them may keep you from falling. 
• Add accessible seating: It is possible to fall when trying to sit in a chair or stand up from one. Accordingly, you should add accessible seating, perhaps including a mechanical chair.
• Install grab bars: You may need some help getting around in the bathroom. Installing grab bars in the shower, next to the toilet and by the sink gives you sturdy grips to use when you need them. 
• Customize your home's exterior: As you age, you may have trouble maneuvering through your garden, accessing your garage or climbing steps. Installing a ramp, repairing cracked walkways and upgrading landscaping may keep you safe.
