Aging In Place Bathroom Modifications
Of all the rooms in the home, bathrooms are often the most dangerous when aging and mobility issues create challenges in bathing. Common barriers to independence in most bathrooms consist of challenges in reaching faucets and other controls because of height or type of control, i.e. round knob handles that make gripping and turning difficult. Fixed shower heads may become unreachable. Bath fixtures lack grab bars or handles for balance and lifting and toilets may be too low and close to the wall. All of these problems can be modified easily by Handyman Matters. A home safety assessment performed by our Certified Environmental Access Consultant (CEAC) will identify problems in your bathroom. The CEAC will develop and our craftsman will implement a plan that will see that your safety in the bathroom is enhanced.
