Aging in Place / April 27, 2018
Is your home senior-friendly? Examine entryways, bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen, even the backyard. Proper lighting in these areas is critical if you wish to avoid accidents.
Entry Ways
The entry to your home is your connection to the rest of the world. It is important for guests and family members to get into and out of your home. Make it safe and convenient at all times and in good condition. Consider barrier-free entryways for disabled family members or guests.
No-Step Entries
A no-step entry is one form of a barrier-free entryway, featuring no steps and little, if any, slope to accommodate a wheelchair or anyone who cannot climb steps. A ramp is a type of no-step entry.
A no-step threshold is another no-step entry where entryways leading into the home and other rooms have no threshold, which reduces a common tripping hazard. A garage lift is also a no-step entry; someone who cannot climb steps can use this to move from the garage into the home and back.
Bathrooms and Bedrooms
The bathroom is a personal space; you use it countless times every day, so it should be comfortable, attractive and safe. To do this, you can build a roll-in shower with height-adjustable shower heads and lower the bathroom sink and allow proper knee clearance. You can also install an elevated toilet. In addition, grab bars are essential, but so is adequate maneuvering clearance. Finally, build a walk-in closet with storage at differing heights and install rocker light switches that are easier to turn on than a common flip switch.
Lighting
Set the mood with natural light in the daytime and electric light when needed. Reduce accidents in the home by having proper lighting wherever needed. Use rocker-type light switches wherever possible; you can turn them on and off with an elbow even if your hands are full. Consider adding skylights and ceiling lights as well.
