As a bathroom remodeling company, HomePride has seen firsthand how important it is for seniors to have a bathroom that is safe and accessible.  We also understand that seniors want a safe space at home and don't want to have to relocate to another facility to find this safety.  That is why adding an accessible bathroom remodel to your home might be the best option for you!

Here are some tips to make your bathroom safe for aging in place:

  • Install grab bars in the shower and around the toilet.
  • Make sure there is plenty of clearance in the shower and around the toilet so that seniors can easily move around.
  • Use non-slip mats in the shower and bathtub.
  • Install a raised toilet seat if necessary.
  • Use a handheld shower head to make it easier for seniors to bathe.
  • Use low-flow faucets and toilets to save water.
  • Consider installing a walk-in shower instead of a bathtub.
