Home Modifications for Seniors

Written by Robert D. Liken CPC, CTS, President | Mar 20, 2023 2:00:00 PM

As we age, our homes become less and less suitable for us to live in safely. To ensure that seniors can remain independent and safe in their own homes, home modifications are necessary. 

What Are Home Modifications? 

Home modifications refer to any changes made to a residential home to make it safer and more accessible for seniors. These can include anything from installing grab bars or railings in bathrooms and stairwells, widening doorways for wheelchairs or walkers, or adding ramps outside of the home so that wheelchairs may pass through more easily. In general, these modifications are designed with convenience and safety as the primary goals. 

Why Are Home Modifications Important? 

Home modifications are important because they allow seniors the freedom to stay in their own homes longer. By making the environment safer, seniors are able to move about freely without fear of falling or injuring themselves due to accessibility issues. Furthermore, these modifications can also help reduce stress on family members who may be tasked with caring for an elderly loved one with accessibility needs. Without proper accommodations, family members may find themselves constantly worrying about their loved one’s safety while at home alone.
