Kitchen Remodeling Ideas for Aging in Place
Good lighting
Good lighting helps everyone see what they’re doing whether it’s chopping onions safely, reading a recipe, or simply moving around your home with confidence. Thoughtful lighting design supports aging eyes, low vision, and everyday activities at every stage of life.
Wide pathways between counters
With thoughtful spacing, family members can move freely without bumping into each other, and there’s room for kids, guests, or aging relatives to navigate safely. Wider aisles also accommodate wheelchairs or mobility aids, so everyone can turn, reach, and participate in cooking, cleaning, and gathering without feeling cramped.
Storage
No one enjoys bending down and crawling inside a cabinet to reach a pot or pan, no matter what age! Thoughtful cabinet design with pull-out drawers, drop-down shelves, lazy Susan inserts, and pull-out trash or recycling bins makes everything more accessible and convenient. These features not only save effort and strain but also create a kitchen that works for everyone, whether you’re cooking, cleaning, or just grabbing a snack.
Bathroom Remodeling Ideas for Aging in Place
Curbless showers
With no step or threshold, they’re ideal for people with limited mobility, those using walkers or wheelchairs, and anyone who wants a safer, more accessible shower experience. You can also plan for ample space to share the shower with a caregiver, child, or loved one, making daily routines simpler, more dignified, and more enjoyable for everyone in the home.
Layout for spacious pathways
A thoughtful bathroom layout makes accessibility simple for everyone. Wide pathways and open floor plans ensure no one feels cramped—whether you’re moving around during busy mornings, navigating with a wheelchair, or lending a hand to a loved one. By designing with space and flow in mind, your bathroom becomes easier to access, safer to use, and more comfortable for every stage of life.
Shower seats or benches
For families, it’s a safe spot to bathe young kids or a steady place to help aging loved ones. For others, it’s a welcome rest during a long shower or extra stability when balance is a concern. Whether used daily or simply when needed, a shower bench adds comfort, safety, and flexibility—making your bathroom work better for every stage of life.
Grab bars
A well-placed grab bar can make it easier for kids to climb in and out of the tub, give peace of mind when you’re recovering from an injury, or simply offer extra stability on slippery floors. We plan ahead by adding blocking inside the walls during your remodel so grab bars can be installed now or in the future. And today’s designs don’t have to look clinical. They come in sleek, stylish finishes that blend seamlessly with your bathroom. With thoughtful planning, you gain both safety and design that supports every stage of life.
Home Remodeling Ideas for Aging in Place
One-story living
Imagine a home where sleeping, bathing, laundry, and eating all happen without stairs, making daily routines easier and safer for everyone. Whether you’re carrying groceries, tackling loads of laundry, moving with kids, or welcoming aging family members, a single-level layout reduces strain, prevents trips and falls, and creates a home that’s comfortable, functional, and accessible at every stage of life.
Wide doorways and hallways
From kids running through the house to guests carrying luggage or family members using mobility devices, wider pathways prevent bottlenecks, reduce bumps and scrapes, and make everyday life more comfortable. A thoughtful layout with wide doorways and hallways ensures your home feels open, welcoming, and accessible for everyone.
Ramps
Ramps make it simple to roll in groceries, push a stroller, or welcome guests who use mobility devices without the barrier of steps. By blending safety with convenience, ramps create a smooth transition from outdoors to indoors, ensuring your home is accessible, practical, and inviting for everyone.
Levered doorknobs
Levered handles make it easy to step inside with arms full of groceries, guide children through the doorway, or accommodate aging hands that find turning knobs difficult. Simple yet thoughtful, this small change adds everyday convenience while ensuring your home stays accessible for everyone.
