Home Preparations and Modifications
If your loved one has trouble walking up and down the steps, then give us a call. We can explore several options to help them age independently and move around in their home comfortably. Residential elevators used to be so expensive that only the wealthiest homeowners used them, but now they’re a common and affordable home modification. We also offer stairlifts whether the staircase is straight or curved. Another solution is our wheelchair lifts that have indoor and outdoor applications. It’s the summertime so that means that there’s BBQ’s and gatherings galore. Imagine the joy that the elderly in your life will have, being able to move with ease from their deck and yard to the interior of their home easily and independently.
Another way to prepare the home is to make sure that it’s safe and secure. Alarm systems have advanced tremendously. Home automation helps any adult to surveil their home from their smartphone as well as turn off lights, control thermostats, and even lock doors. Home automation is ideal for any adult that has limited mobility because they can control and see what’s going on in their home without needing to travel downstairs.
