Top 10 Home Modifications

for Safe Senior Living

Stay Independent. Stay Safe. Stay Home.

No-Step Entryways

Ramps, threshold-free doors, and wider entrances make it easy for walkers and wheelchairs. Add a canopy to prevent water intrusion.

Safer Bathrooms

Grab bars, walk-in showers, non-slip flooring, and comfort-height toilets reduce fall risks.

Better Lighting

Bright, glare-free lighting in halls, stairs, and entryways improves visibility. Contrasting nosing strips on stair treads help prevent falls.

Easy-to-Reach Storage

Pull-down shelving, pull-out drawers, and lowered cabinets keep essentials within reach.

Lever-Style Handles

Replace knobs with lever handles on doors and faucets for easier use with limited grip.

Slip-Resistant Flooring

Non-slip vinyl, cork, or low-pile carpet lowers the risk of tripping.

Sturdy Handrails

Two-sided handrails on stairs and sturdy banisters add vital support.

Wider Doorways

Improved mobility and access for wheelchairs, walkers, and assisted care.

Smart Kitchen Design

Accessible counters, side-opening ovens, and easy-access appliances make cooking safe, as well as removing microwave ovens from over the range.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors

Alarms should be interconnected with easy-to-hear alarms that will go off if one detects danger. Test and replace batteries regularly.

First-Floor Living

Main-floor bedroom, bath, and laundry help avoid daily stair climbing.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

In-law additions and small secondary homes keep families close and independent.
