Top 3 Aging-In-Place Upgrades for Your Bathroom and Kitchen

Many senior homeowners want to stay in their current homes or live with the other members of their family. In such an instance, aging-in-place is necessary. 

Today, we will talk about a few aging-in-place ideas for your kitchen and bathroom. Handyman Connection® of Winter Park offers a variety of installation and remodeling services, and some of our suggestions include the following.

Modify Your Kitchen Cabinets

Add pull-down shelves to your upper cabinets to reduce the amount of reaching needed to get items from the cabinets. For your lower cabinets, add pull out shelves to reduce the strain of bending over to reach the back. These two quick and simple changes will make using your kitchen much more comfortable for senior members of your family.

Add Grab Bars to Your Bathroom

Installing grab bars to your bathroom is a modest change with a significant effect. Grab bars can make your bathroom much safer to use by seniors. They can assist people when sitting and standing and with entering and exiting your shower or bath. Additionally, there are many grab bars in a variety of colors and designs. You can easily match the grab bars to your bathroom’s decor.

Adjust Your Kitchen Sink

The sink is one of the busiest areas in the kitchen, so adjusting it for your older members of the family will make a big impact. Consider adjusting the height of the sink to make it easier to use. Motorized sinks, which move up and down, are also great for those with advanced years. You can also use a lever-handled or hands-free faucet.

Our services can make your home safer and more comfortable for your older loved ones. Handyman Connection of Winter Park focuses on guiding you through the remodeling process every step of the way.
