House Planning and Elder Care Considerations

By Lance Winslow

If you are considering building or remodeling a home for an older senior adult then you need to do a little research. Until you've lived in a situation like that it is hard to understand just what needs to be put into the house design and home plans. One thing that sounds over the top, but it is well worth the cost is a small elevator or chair system that can take the elder up and down the stairs. Sure they are expensive to install after the home is built, but if they are put in prior to building the house, they are actually quite simple.

Planning ahead makes all the difference in the world. Thus, it makes sense to build the showers with seats inside and the bathroom with hand rails, and slightly larger to maneuver in. Still, these are major modification after the fact. However there are simple things you can do too, such as better lighting on the stairs, maybe install lights illuminating every step, fairly inexpensive with new LED Lights and it could prevent a major slip and fall event resulting in death or serious injury like a broken hip.

Floor heating is another thing many senior care home builders recommend, it will also help them with energy bills, as it is more efficient. If you'll do just a little work now and some serious research on home plans, you'll find plans that allow you to build a smart home for the elder years, without it even looking like one. This will help it retain its value and provide safety, security, and peace of mind too. Please consider this.
