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, small updates can make a big difference.

Here are a few easy home modifications that boost comfort, safety, and independence as we age:

🛁 Add grab bars in the bathroom for balance and support
🚪 Replace round door knobs with lever-style handles for easier use
💡 Install motion-sensor lighting in hallways and entryways
🔄 Rearrange furniture to open walkways and prevent tripping
🚿 Swap bathtubs for walk-in showers or add a sturdy shower seat
🪜 Keep everyday items on lower shelves to reduce reaching or climbing

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