Remodeling your home to accommodate aging in place ensures safety, comfort, and accessibility for seniors. Start by installing grab bars in bathrooms near the toilet and in the shower or bathtub to provide support and prevent falls. Replace traditional toilets with comfort-height models that are easier to sit and stand from. Consider walk-in tubs or showers with seats and handheld showerheads for added convenience. Widen doorways and hallways to accommodate mobility aids like wheelchairs or walkers. Add non-slip flooring throughout the home to reduce the risk of slipping, especially in high- traffic areas. Improve lighting by installing brighter, energy-efficient bulbs and adding motion-sensor lights in key areas to enhance visibility at night. Lower countertops and cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms to make them more accessible. Install ramps or stairlifts if there are multiple levels in your home.
