Bathrooms may be the most dangerous room in the home for those with mobility issues. Yet there are some specific projects that we can complete to minimize this risk and assist in making your home a safe and enjoyable space.

Many seniors try to get by with their existing bathrooms, but bath fixtures and towel racks are inadequate to support weight and assist with balance. Wet floors and slippery tiles, along with toilets that are too low and close to the wall can become real safety hazards.

Simple things like faucets, knobs or other bathroom fixtures can cause problems. Round knob handles which were easy to turn at one time, can become difficult to grip and turn.

Roberts home services can quickly solve these challenges and more for your home:

• Raise a toilet
• Reinforce walls for safety products.
• Install Grab Bars
• Add adjustable height shower heads
• Install Walk-in Shower
• Install Walk-in Tub

Kitchen modifications can help a person continue to live independently and safely. Hard to reach counters, sinks and appliances, and slippery surfaces can make cooking difficult and potentially lead to accidents.

Smart design blends aesthetics with smart solutions to improve life for all, creating safety, independence and freedom in the kitchen even as mobility changes. The idea is to create products and home environments that are universally appealing and adaptable to benefit everyone.

Kitchen modifications can include:

• Install sliding, revolving, pull-down, and/or motorized shelves
• Adjustable cabinets, counters and sinks
• Hand grips
• Easy grip faucets, lever handles and knobs
• Non-slip surfaces
• Install hanging racks
• Lowering counters and sinks
• Installing accessible appliances
• And many more…
