Schererville Aging in Place 

The idea of getting old is something that very few people want to come to terms with. Indeed, it’s why the industry to keep us young–in the form of nutrition, supplements, procedures and surgeries, exercise, cosmetics, and more–is so profitable. But aging is a reality and, at some point, each of us will need to face the prospect of not being as mobile as we currently are as a result of age. When this point comes, having a home designed for aging in place can be a huge comfort. Our Schererville aging in place specialists can help you to remodel your home in a way that best accommodates your future self or an aging loved one.

What Does an “Aging in Place” Home Look Like?

As people get older, getting around a home safely becomes more of a challenge. The risk of falling increases, and people may have a more difficult time bathing safely, using the bathroom, and navigating stairs. When a home is remodeled to be age-in-place friendly, it has some or all of the following features:

• Countertops and cabinets that are lowered, and are therefore able to be used and accessed by someone who is in a wheelchair;
• Bathrooms are equipped with grab bars, especially around the toilet and the shower;
• Showers are redesigned so that wheelchairs can easily enter;
• Doorways are widened in order to accommodate for wheelchairs;
• Ramps are installed in order to allow for access to different levels of the home; 
• Open-concept floor plans are employed to allow for shorter hallways and easier movement; and 
• Light switches and outlets are placed lower to allow for easier access.

Our team can help you to understand the different aging in place renovations that our team offers, as well as which may be most appropriate for you.
