Safe & Stylish Solutions by Gercken Construction Services
Why Aging-In-Place Matters
With the majority of people choosing to remain in their homes as they age, it’s essential to create spaces that support mobility, reduce accidents, and deliver lasting comfort. The bathroom is a key area for slips and falls, but intentional upgrades can make it one of the safest places in your home.
Essential Aging-In-Place Features
Curbless (Zero-Threshold) Showers
Eliminating shower thresholds removes a frequent trip hazard and accommodates mobility aids like walkers or roll-in showers. It’s a smart foundation for safety and accessibility.
Grab Bars with Style
Secure safe movement with strategically placed grab bars near the toilet, shower entry, and inside the shower itself. Modern designs now allow these bars to blend seamlessly into your bathroom’s aesthetic.
Non-Slip Flooring
High-traction flooring materials—or added texture in finishes—can significantly reduce the risk of slips in wet environments.
Comfort-Height Fixtures
Raising the toilet seat and vanity height reduces strain on knees and backs when standing or sitting, supporting independent usage.
Essential Aging-In-Place Features
Improved Lighting & Visibility
Layered lighting—including task lighting and motion-sensor fixtures—ensures important areas (like entryways and mirrors) are bright and safe, day or night.
Smart & Safety-ready Features
Innovative upgrades—such as touchless faucets, anti-scald controls, and emergency call buttons—add both convenience and peace of mind.
