Aging in place allows seniors to maintain independence and comfort in a familiar environment. At TruBlue, we understand the importance of adapting your home to fit your evolving needs without compromising on style or safety. Here are some practical adjustments and enhancements that can make any home more age-friendly, all of which TruBlue is ready to assist you with.
1. Smart Home Technology
Integrating smart home technology can significantly enhance the safety and manageability of your home. Consider installing smart thermostats, which allow for easy temperature adjustments, or smart lighting systems that you can control from your phone or with voice commands. These systems not only provide convenience but also ensure that you can manage your environment effortlessly, reducing risks associated with mobility or visibility limitations.
2. Flooring Upgrades
Replacing flooring can greatly reduce fall risks. Opt for slip-resistant flooring options like vinyl, linoleum, or textured laminate. TruBlue can help select and install suitable flooring that combines safety with aesthetic appeal, ensuring your home remains stylish yet functional.
3. Custom Storage Solutions
As mobility and reach change, so should the storage in your home. Installing pull-out cabinets, lower pantry shelves, and easy-access drawers can minimize strain and increase accessibility in the kitchen and other areas. TruBlue specializes in custom storage solutions that make the spaces you use every day more accessible and easier to manage.
4. Bathroom Adjustments
Beyond grab bars and non-slip mats, consider installing a comfort-height toilet, which is a few inches taller than standard toilets, making it easier to sit down and stand up. Another helpful modification is a handheld or adjustable shower head to make bathing simpler and safer. TruBlue can manage all aspects of bathroom modifications to cater to your specific needs.
5. Enhanced Outdoor Accessibility
Ensuring safe access to and from your home is crucial. TruBlue can help by building or improving walkways to be smooth and barrier-free, as well as installing sturdy railings along steps and ramps. Properly lit pathways and entrances also play a key role in preventing falls, and we can install outdoor lighting that provides both safety and ambiance.
6. Routine Maintenance Checks
Regular home maintenance is vital for ensuring all the systems in your home function safely and efficiently. From checking fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to regular HVAC inspections, TruBlue’s Home Ally Maintenance Plan covers all the essentials. Regular checks help prevent emergencies and the stress of dealing with sudden repairs.
