Structural Remodels for Aging-in-Place

The Small Stuff Makes a Difference in Retirement Remodels
- Installation of non-slippery tiles and replacement of impractical rugs with new carpet of less than 1.5-inch pile can make wheelchair access simple
- Small changes like doorknob replacement with levers and easy open windows and blinds, thermostats moved to easier-to-reach places, light switches near doors, and installation of emergency 911 switches can make retiring at home independently more convenient
Front Doors and Ramps for Retirees
- Installing non-slip flooring can improve safety
- Motion lighting, unraised thresholds and garage additions make senior life easier
- Wheelchair ramps to front doors, back doors and in garages can make it easier for aging adults to come and go
Adapting just one room for you to stay in so your family can be with you while you age in place can be ideal. Ask about remodeling a single bathroom or the addition of an electric chair lift to make this possible.
