Aging at home is possible with the right planning and plumbing.
As we get older, getting safely around our homes can be a challenge. The bathroom is the room that often poses the greatest obstacles; it also provides the most opportunities for making life at home safer and simpler.
If you’re ready to make alterations for a safer bathroom, it’s important to have a plumber evaluate your space and plan a renovation that helps you stay in the home you love, confidently and independently.
Age-friendly bathroom changes to consider are:
- Installing grab bars for the shower, tub and toilet
- Replacing old tubs with easy-access or walk-in models
- Redesigning showers and sinks to be wheelchair accessible
- Installing shower seats, and handheld shower heads
- Replacing dual-handle faucets with single lever ones
- Treating tub and shower floors with anti-slip coatings
- Using slip-resistant materials on all floors
- Replacing doorknobs with levers
- Adding easily accessible cabinets and counter space
