Senior Floor Plans

When it comes to senior living, safety and comfort are top priorities. Whether you're planning to stay put or move to a new place, a thoughtfully designed floor plan can make all the difference.

Grab bars: Installed in important locations such as bathrooms and hallways, these provide extra support and stability, reducing the risk of slips and falls.

Non-slip flooring: As we age, our balance might not be what it used to be. Non-slip floors give you that extra grip to keep you steady.

Good lighting: Bright, well-placed lights help to avoid accidents, especially in tricky spots like stairways and entryways.

Emergency response systems: With just a push of a button or a simple voice command, help is on the way if you ever need it.

Single-level living: Who needs stairs anyway? Single-level living means less hassle and more peace of mind.

Wider doorways and hallways: Extra space means more effortless movement, whether using a walker or just carrying in the groceries.

By weaving these elements into your home, you're not just making it safer – you're creating a space that grows with you, supporting your independence for years to come.

Mobility Enhancements

As mobility can become more challenging with age, modifying a home’s floor plan can help seniors continue to live independently.

Lower countertops and adjustable shelving in kitchens and bathrooms make it easier for seniors to access everyday items without the need for stretching or bending.

Walk-in showers are another popular feature in senior-friendly floor plans. Unlike traditional bathtubs, walk-in showers have a low or no-step entry, making them easily accessible for seniors with mobility issues. Adding a built-in seat and handheld showerhead can further enhance safety and comfort in the bathroom.

Widening doorways and hallways can also improve accessibility, especially for seniors using wheelchairs or walkers.

These modifications ensure that seniors can move freely throughout their homes without encountering obstacles.

Downsizing and Retirement

Many seniors choose to downsize to smaller, more manageable homes. These floor plans often feature a single-story layout, minimal stairs, and compact spaces that are easier to maintain. Downsizing not only reduces the physical demands of home maintenance but also allows seniors to focus on enjoying their retirement.
