Aging in Place + Universal Design
Universal design is the idea of making living spaces accessible to all people, including older people and those with disabilities. As people live longer, there is a greater need to create living spaces to accommodate extended life spans. Living at home is usually a less expensive option than moving into an assisted living facility.
The idea of universal design is also known by other names: aging in place, barrier free design/renovation, accessible renovations, adaptable design.
Barrier Free Renovations
We can perform the following types of barrier free renovations and accessible modifications:
- Bathroom renovations: curbless showers, walk-in-tubs, accessible vanity, shower benches, grab bars
- Door widening: to allow for walkers & wheelchairs
- Electrical: lowering switches, adding lighting
- Door knob replacement: install levers for easier operation
- Ramp construction for wheelchairs and walkers
- Slip resistant flooring
Function & Looks
Accessible design is functional by necessity. But it does not need to look institutional. It can also be created to look good and add to the value of the house.
