Accessible and Stylish Features for Your Forever Home

Bathroom

Slip and fall accidents are more common in the bathroom due to constant exposure to moisture. You want to have non-slip flooring in this part of your home. A shower seat makes it easier to sit down and stand up. Wheelchair and walker users will find curbless showers more comfortable due to their lack of obstructions. It allows older adults and physically challenged individuals to wash up alone confidently and for longer.

Kitchen

Everyone in the family will benefit from adjustable kitchen countertops. It’s also safer for your counters to have rounded corners. They make cleaning easier and saves you from getting hurt. Pull-down and movable shelves, touchless faucets and side-opening ovens are other features that will add convenience to the heart of your home.

Lighting

The older you get, the more challenging it will be to see clearly in dimly lit environments. Sufficient light will make your living space easier to navigate. Installing more lights in your home can reduce the risk of slips and falls. Large windows and skylights will allow plenty of sunshine into your space, making it look more expansive, livelier and fresher.
