What Are the Benefits of an Aging-in-Place Remodel?

Adults considering relocating their elderly parent to a nursing home or seniors weighing the options themselves may want to consider the benefits of an aging-in-place bathroom remodel. Aging in place is becoming increasingly popular for numerous reasons. The certified designing and remodeling contractors at Re-Bath & Kitchens can dramatically transform your home's bathroom, making it safer for retirees. However, there are numerous reasons why many seniors throughout Arizona are choosing to age in place, including the following:

• Safety – The most significant benefit of a handicap-accessible bathroom remodel is improved safety. As certified aging-in-place professionals, we can assess your current bathroom and make recommendations to allow better accessibility while eliminating potential hazards.
• Stay Connected – Many seniors have spent years or even decades as a member of the local community. Uprooting yourself from your support system and spending your days with a whole new group of people can be a challenge. Aging in place allows you to continue to be a part of the community you love.
• Improved Comfort – Unfortunately, bathrooms are not traditionally designed to be handicap accessible. The design oversight can make bathrooms feel cramped, uncomfortable, and challenging to navigate. Our team can maximize the space in your existing bathroom and install a new tub to make it more comfortable.
• Affordability – As assisted living facilities and nursing home prices continue to skyrocket, age-in-place has become increasingly popular. Homeowners can make their homes more accessible at a fraction of the cost.
• Independence – For elderly homeowners who have lived independently their entire lives, it may be too difficult to give up that freedom. An aging-in-place remodel allows you to maintain your independence.

Bathroom Remodeling Features for the Elderly

The bathroom is one of the most dangerous areas of the home. Slick, hard surfaces make trips and falls more common and dangerous. For many elderly homeowners, their bathtub or shower presents the biggest challenge. However, our knowledgeable and skilled team of certified remodeling team of experts can improve the comfort and safety of your bathroom. We offer a wide range of convenient options for your aging-in-place bathroom remodel. Our team will take the time to provide you with thoughtful recommendations based on your needs, budget, and space. Our bathtub and shower upgrades include the following:

• Hand-Held Showerhead – A hand-held showerhead provides better comfort and usability than a traditional showerhead. They can be combined with a shower bench to increase safety while showering for those with low mobility.
• Shower Bench – Staying seated makes showering safer for senior citizens and people with handicaps.
• Low-Threshold Showers – Low-threshold showers make it easier for elderly homeowners with mobility issues to enter and exit the shower. The space between the bathroom and shower floor is minimal to reduce chances of slip-and-fall accidents.
• Walk-In Bathtubs – Walk-in bathtubs eliminate the struggles some seniors have of getting into or out of their tubs. With a water depth of almost two and a half feet, a relaxing and comfortable bath is waiting for you. Water jets, air jets, or a combination of both provide therapeutic benefits.
