Home Upgrades Are Necessary to Help Seniors Age in Place

Ensuring your loved one can age in place safely and comfortably often involves making simple but impactful adjustments to their living environment. Focusing on primary areas of the home will greatly reduce the risk of injury while enhancing quality of life. Making the home easier to navigate promotes a level of independence and allows your loved one to hold onto their dignity. Below are the crucial areas to consider when upgrading the home for successfully aging in place:

The Bathroom: The bathroom is a high-risk area for falls. There are some changes you can make to enhance safety.

Installing grab bars near the toilet and in the shower provides stability and support.
Adding a shower seat allows your loved one to bathe while seated, reducing the potential for falling 
Raising the height of the toilet or using a raised toilet seat makes standing up easier. 
Consider using non-slip mats both inside and outside the tub or shower to prevent slips and falls 
Handheld showerheads offer flexibility and control for seniors with limited mobility while allowing them to maintain independence in the bathroom

The Kitchen: The kitchen can present additional problems for seniors, especially when it comes to reaching for items or performing daily tasks. There are ways to improve accessibility including: 

Rearranging cabinets so frequently used items are stored at waist level, reducing the need to bend or stretch. 
Installing pull-out shelves or lazy susans can also be added to make it easier to access the back of cupboards. 
Installing bright, even lighting is essential to reduce shadows and improve visibility while cooking or moving around. 
Upgrading appliances to more senior-friendly models with easy-to-read controls and safety features like automatic shutoff.

The Bedroom: Creating a safe and comfortable bedroom is vital for seniors’ independence. There are many things you can do in a bedroom to accommodate your loved one.

Adding non-slip pads or securing rugs can prevent tripping hazards. 
Installing a bed rail can provide support when getting in and out of bed, reducing the risk of falls. 
For seniors who find it difficult to dress while standing, placing a sturdy armchair near the bed offers a comfortable and safe place to sit. 
If the bedroom is far from the bathroom, you may also consider installing nightlights along the route to ensure clear visibility during nighttime trips.

These home upgrades paired with professional in-home care services create a living environment that promotes safety, independence, and comfort for your loved one. These small but essential improvements allow seniors to age in place with confidence and peace of mind.
