Don’t Let Your Mobility Limitations Chase You Out of Your Home
Make your home safer more accessible and easier to live in with well thought out mobility renovations. A survey by the American association of retired persons found 90% of people age 65 to 74 would like to live out their years in their current homes. Yet many homes are still ill suited for the physical limitations and challenges that arrive with advancing age…don’t let your mobility limitations chase you out of your home. The primary issues seniors and people with mobility limitations come across in most homes are: Space – Most homes don’t have enough open space in the appropriate area to allow easy maneuvering for people with mobility limitations, particularly those in wheelchairs or scooters Access – Counters cabinets and storage areas are designed for easy access for people who have no limitations on their reaching, bending or standing Safety – Storing heavy or large items, reaching across hot elements on the stove, retrieving linens from high shelf, taking a shower and other seemingly routine tasks can be very dangerous for people with mobility limitations Unfortunately some home renovation contractors are beginning to realize the value in providing renovation services specifically to those with mobility limitations, I say unfortunately because most of these jack of all trade types have little experience with mobility aiding products and/or understanding the medical conditions of the clients Their lure of dirt cheap prices highlights the risk in hiring them…..trusting someone with your health should never be based on price.
