According to AARP, 90% of Seniors want to continue to live in their own homes.
But 80% of Seniors have DONE NOTHING to their homes to make them more SAFE, more EFFICIENT or to HELP THEM AGE IN PLACE.
According to AARP surveys, 90% of Seniors want to live in their own homes.
They are comfortable in familiar surroundings, where their children and families grew up. Where their memories are based. However, 80% of Seniors have done NOTHING, to make their homes more Safe, Efficient or Livable for the aging process.
The option is for the Senior to go to an Assisted Living Facility. There where staffing levels that do not permit caregivers to spend time with your loved one. It often is many miles from their current neighborhood. Therefore, friends and families are less likely to visit every day. The Senior loved one, is around other Seniors that they do not know. And often it’s difficult to visit with other occupants of the assisted living facility, except for either attending scheduled activities or eating meals in the dining hall.
And assisted living facilities often cost from $3,000 to $10,000 per month, depending on the level of accommodations purchased.

Most falls take place in the bathroom and shower areas. Grab bars when properly installed can provide the Senior Homeowner with balance and fall protection.
We install many types of grab bars that offer the support and reassurance that the Senior will be able to support themselves and not experience a slip and fall.
Did you know that carpeting and rugs are the number one cause of trips and falls?
Falls are a leading cause of unintentional injury among adults age 65 years and older. Loose, unsecured rugs and damaged carpets with curled edges, are recognized environmental hazards that may contribute to falls. To characterize nonfatal, unintentional fall-related injuries associated with rugs and carpets in adults aged 65 years and older.
Annually, an estimated 37,991 adults age 65 years or older were treated in U.S. EDs for falls associated with carpets (54.2%) and rugs (45.8%). Most falls (72.8%) occurred at home. Women represented 80.2% of fall injuries. The most common location for fall injuries in the home was the bathroom (35.7%). Frequent fall injuries occurred at the transition between carpet/rug and non-carpet/rug, on wet carpets or rugs, and while hurrying to the bathroom.
Loose throw rugs and area carpets with curled edges or folds are among the extrinsic factors most frequently mentioned in the literature as unsafe and potentially increasing fall risk.
Research has shown that hazardous rugs and carpets may be the most common environmental hazard in the homes of older adults, with one study finding loose throw rugs in nearly 78% of the homes, curled carpet edges in more than 35%, an average of more than 11 rugs without nonslip backing in each home. These hazards are even more common in homes of frail older adults with disabilities, who are at higher risk for falls. Evidence also exists that these flooring types may increase risk of serious fall-related injury. Case control studies have found that both floor mats in hallways and bathmats significantly increased risk of hip fractures21 and that loose rugs / mats and flooring were among the most common objects in the home associated with falls resulting in hip fractures.
The threshold-free roll-in shower is an excellent choice when it comes to remodeling and removing a bathtub with a new roll-in shower.
We can remodel your present bathroom to make it an AGE IN PLACE model bathroom with a threshold-free shower which allows more room and a way to make shower taking for a Senior,
an efficient and safety feature.
Often it’s difficult for a Senior to perform minor home handyman projects.

I am really happy with the 240 point in-home Safety Assessment. I was surprised by how many different fall risks, my father had in his home.
My wife was hospitalized with a major illness. She was not going to be able to smoke cigarettes again, and the house had cigarette smoke smell. I needed things done in a hurry while she was in the hospital. Age in Place, was able to install grab bars in the bathroom, a high-profile toilet and paint the interior of the home, all before she was discharged.
We live about a 3 hour drive from my monther-in-laws home. What I like about it is the Handyman Service offered by Age in Place. When my mother-in-law needs light bulbs changed or has anything that we can’t handle, Age in Place, Handyman Service goes and checks on her needs and lets us know what home repairs or items, she needs.
