If you’re a wheelchair user, making your home wheelchair-friendly and accessible will benefit you greatly. Adding home modifications helps a homeowner age in place, and makes for a more pleasant living experience. It takes care and attention to detail to make a home more manageable to maneuver around, but with our wheelchair lifts, we hope that our customers can live a little more comfortably and with fewer limitations. There are many ways to make a home more wheelchair-friendly, but today we’ll focus on some of the top considerations.
Allow Our Experienced and Trained Technicians to Install a Wheelchair Lift
Wheelchair lift installation is the first step towards making your home more wheelchair accessible. Our skilled team customizes wheelchair lifts so that they fit within the parameters of your home and your needs. Whether you live in a small or large house or need the lift inside or outside, we can accommodate you.
A Remodeled Bathroom Makes for a Wheelchair-Friendly Home
Bathroom modifications or complete redesigns are crucial to avoid injuries. Also, home modifications help in general with making a homeowner feel more independent. Some of these modifications include installing wider doors and lowering countertops. Another consideration includes adding replacing a tub with a shower stall instead. Grab bars also help prevent slips, falls, and injuries. Also, making sure that the bathroom and the entire house has proper lighting is pivotal as well. Moving light switches lower so they are easier to reach or installing motion lights can make a big difference. Moving throughout a home when it’s hard to see is dangerous for anyone.
Consider Changing Your Kitchen Around
While tall cabinets look stylish in a home, sometimes they can be an inconvenience. Reaching for a product can cause physical strain for anyone. Consider lowering cabinets so that any products that you need are accessible within seconds. You can also lower kitchen countertops for the same reason. Oven doors with side hinge and pull out shelves are extremely helpful as well.
The main takeaway is that every person deserves to feel comfortable within their homes. Homes aren’t always tailored to your needs when you buy them, but you can always modify them to fit your needs. We want to help you with that process. If you’re a wheelchair user who’s considering adding a wheelchair lift to their home, then give us a call today!
