Stay in Your Home With an Accessible Remodel 

Making your home accessible as you age is a great way to ensure that you can continue to live in the home you love while maintaining your independence. According to the National Institute on Aging, there are several changes you can make to your home to help maintain your independence as you age. 

• Install grab bars and handrails: Installing grab bars and handrails in key areas of your home, such as the bathroom and stairways, can help prevent falls and provide support when you need it.
• Improve lighting: Adding more lighting to your home can help you see better and reduce the risk of falls. Consider adding nightlights in hallways and bathrooms.
• Remove tripping hazards: Removing tripping hazards such as loose rugs and clutter can help prevent falls.
• Make your bathroom safer: Consider installing a walk-in shower or bathtub with a built-in seat. You can also install a raised toilet seat to make it easier to sit down and stand up.
• Make your kitchen more accessible: Consider installing pull-out shelves and drawers to make it easier to reach items in your cabinets. You can also install a wall oven to avoid having to bend down to use the oven.
