Your home is a place where you should feel comfortable and at ease. But when your
mobility is limited, it can make your home feel restrictive and uninviting. Don’t let your home determine your limitations. With a few simple
renovations, you can make it more accessible and provide yourself with a space that is easy and comfortable to get around in so you can retire at home. If you have mobility issues that are limiting you in your own home, here are four advantages of
mobility renovations that can drastically improve your quality of life at home.
Minimize the Risk of Slipping in the Bathroom
The
bathroom is one of those areas that can easily become the ultimate nemesis when you are struggling with
mobility. But with a few simple tweaks, they can enhance the ease, safety, and allow you to embrace your independence.
You can have
handrails installed along the tub to reduce any slips, or a walk-in tub so you don’t have to lift, or even a lower vanity set installed so you can easily reach the sink and mirror. Simple additions can really make all the difference.
Ease of Entering and Exiting with a Ramp
Having to hike up a flight of stairs just to make it to the front door can make you dread coming home before you’ve even entered it. And when the harsh winter arrives and there’s snow and ice to endure, it can create a very treacherous surface to travel on. But you can easily eliminate that effort and risk of falling with a ramp that can provide accessibility when entering or exiting your home.
Safe Kitchen to Cook in
Take back control of your own
kitchen with lower countertops and space that can maximize ease of movement. You can create the perfect layout that you can easily manoeuvre in and reach items. With the holiday baking season around the corner, there’s no better time to take advantage of a
mobility renovation!
Expand Doorways for Mobility Chairs
Different models of
mobility chairs can sometimes end up being too wide to easily fit through narrow doorways. But it’s a problem that can be fixed. With a few adjustments to the doorways you can move around at home through any room without feeling the need to squeeze on through.
Don’t let
mobility limitations hold you back from feeling comfortable in your own home. Making the effort to have your home renovated in order to optimize mobility can give you back control of your independence and help you embrace the comfort of being home.
