Essential Home Improvements for People With Limited Mobility

If you or anyone in your family has limited mobility, getting around your home can be challenging. Thankfully, there are home improvements that can be done to help with this.

Bathrooms

• A walk-in shower or a walk-in tub will be beneficial for those who have trouble lifting their feet up.
• Grab bars in crucial areas in the bathroom can help prevent slips and falls.
• Lowered sinks and countertops in the bathroom make it accessible for those who are in wheelchairs.

Kitchens

• For homeowners using wheelchairs, their kitchen remodel may include lowering of sinks and countertops, and removing cabinets to make them more accessible.
• For those who have limited movement of their hands, touch-sensitive faucets can be installed.

Others

• Widening of the doors and hallways will make entry and exit easier for those using a wheelchair.
• Grab bars can also be placed in strategic places.
• Replacing door knobs with handles can make opening the door easier.
• Installing swing-away or offset door hinges can make rooms more accessible.
• Wheelchair accessible ramps can be placed in front of doorways.
• The first floor of the home can be modified to enable one-floor living.
