Simple Changes to Make Aging in Place Easier

Whether you’re planning ahead for your own future or helping a loved one stay safely at home, even small changes can have a big impact.

Here are a few simple modifications that can support comfort and safety as we age:
🛁 Add grab bars in the bathroom
🚪 Swap out round door knobs for lever-style handles
💡 Install motion-sensor lighting in hallways and entryways
🔄 Rearrange furniture to create wider, clearer walkways
🚿 Trade bathtubs for walk-in showers (or add a shower seat)
🪜 Store daily-use items on lower shelves to avoid step stools

These small updates don’t require a full remodel, but they can make daily life easier and safer for years to come.
