The unexpected has happened and a loved one needs easier accessibility in their home. Whether it’s a temporary situation or a permanent life change, making it easier for your loved one to be independent is your top priority.
The bathroom is one of the first rooms in your home where accessibility can be a challenge. Bathrooms can be small, especially in older homes, and rarely are there railings or edges to grab onto if one needs a hand up or loses his or her balance. As a result, bathrooms are common accident sites and a worry for loved ones.
Installing a handicapped accessible bathroom is a great solution for those who are facing temporary or permanent mobility limitations. Wider doorways, curbless or low-step showers, and railings in the shower and adjacent to toilets can make recovering from surgery a much easier transition. Something as simple as a lever instead of a doorknob or shifting the location of faucets can make a big difference for someone adjusting to changes in mobility.
