Posted by Heather Homes on March 22nd, 2021

Planning to renovate your new home or your existing one to make it more stunning and increase its functionality? Well, with plenty of options, suggestions and sources to help you out with renovation, the process would be easy and the end output would be worth all the time and effort you spend. But this could be a bit tricky when there are elders at home. With a bit of care and caution, it is possible to convert your home into an elder-friendly space.
 
 
Here are some of the key things to consider while renovating that suits the elders at home:
 
1. Safe and Friendly Flooring
 
Flooring is one of the main concerns for elders at home and it is always ideal to choose slip-resistant floors. Slippery surfaces must be covered with nonskid mats so as to avoid any dangerous situations. Also, after renovations steps or floor must not be constructed too high so as to ensure easy movement for the elders.
 
2. Well-lighted Place
 
Not just the staircase but every other part of your home should have good lighting. Adequate lighting will help prevent bumping into things or falling. From hallway to doorway, bedroom to bathroom, make sure there is proper lighting system within your home. Installing motion sensing lights at home will prove to be beneficial for the elders.
 
3. Easy on the Hands
 
Every appliance, fittings and fixtures in your apartments must be elder-friendly. From doorknobs to switches, ensure that you use only those which are easy on their hands and user-friendly too.
