For her condo in Century City, we installed “Age in Place” improvements, including grab bars in both bathrooms, bedroom, and the shower. Plus upgrades and repairs throughout.
Depending on a family member’s or your situation, consider incorporating age in place amenities during your remodel. These might include a curbless shower, wheelchair clearance under sink vanities, wider doorways, ramps, adding backing behind locations where grab bars are stipulated, and wheelchair accessible floor plans.

“Being able to live in your home and maintain your independence as long as possible is important. It’s difficult to feel like you’re losing your quality of life by having to ask family and friends for help with things you didn’t need help with before. But small changes like adding grab bars to your bathroom can prolong your independence, your quality of life and freedom to continue living as you have been.”
