Home Improvements for People With Limited Mobility
Remodeling your home isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s also about accessibility. For family members or residents with limited mobility, thoughtful design can make a huge difference in daily life. Even simple changes can improve safety, independence, and overall comfort.
At Nuss Construction Company, our expert designers and builders specialize in accessible home remodeling to meet the needs of every family member.
Bathroom Accessibility Improvements
Bathrooms are often the most challenging spaces for people with limited mobility. Here are some modifications to consider:
- Walk-in showers: Replacing traditional bathtubs with level, walk-in showers improves accessibility for wheelchair users and reduces the risk of slips and falls.
- Grab bars and handles: Install near sinks, toilets, and shower areas to provide additional support.
- Lowered sinks and countertops: Make it easier for wheelchair users to reach sinks, cabinets, and workspaces.
- Widened doorways and floors: Ensure smooth entry and exit for mobility devices like wheelchairs or walkers.
Kitchen Accessibility Improvements
The kitchen can also be customized to enhance mobility and usability:
- Lowered countertops and cabinets: Position countertops at a height that is comfortable for users, and add pull-out drawers for easier access to kitchenware.
- Touch-sensitive faucets: Ideal for those with limited hand or arm strength.
- Accessible outlets: Lower power outlets for easier plugging and unplugging of appliances.
Other Home Accessibility Upgrades
Beyond the main living areas, several improvements can improve overall mobility:
- Wheelchair ramps: Replace stairs with ramps made from durable materials like concrete or aluminum.
- Garage modifications: Expand your garage to fit a wheelchair-accessible van, allowing more room for safe entry and exit.
- Smooth, obstacle-free pathways: Ensure that every high-traffic area in the home is easy to navigate.
