Aging in place with a barrier-free home
It is a challenging task for disabled or older adults to age in place in the most confined or bound style house where they face various difficulties in moving with a wheelchair or have no safety features integrated. We can help you modify your old home design into a barrier-free. This way, seniors can independently move into the kitchen, halls, bathroom, and every other area of the house without experiencing falls or injuries. We can create a home in which you can move freely, equipped with safety features and designed to improve your lifestyle from experiencing daunting tasks to risk-free, enjoyable life.
Barrier-free home design
Barrier-free home design involves the bathroom, kitchen, hall, and house exterior design. A bathroom is a wet place or riskier for elders to use without integrating safety features like barrier-free showers, handrails, and non-resistant floors. We focus on the following factors to modify your living area for safe aging.
- Sturdy railings or grab bars are on important places like the stairs and bathroom where the risk of slipping and falling increases.
- Rooms and bathrooms are more spacious free from obstacles. The things are settled on the side to give wheelchair users more space to move.
- Proper lighting is installed in the overall house for better vision.
- Wider doors for easy access to move through wheelchair and walker.
- Switches and other connections are on access to prevent lifting.
- We are incorporating Smart technology into the house for the convenience of the elders, like the voice-controlled system integration.
- Ramps are constructed along with stairs for in and out.
