Aging in Place Tips for Your Bathroom Design

As people age it becomes increasingly more difficult for them to remain in their home because most homes are designed with the assumption that the occupant has full mobility and dexterity. The bathroom poses one of the primary obstacles for someone to age-in-place. The slippery surfaces, elements requiring tight pinching and grasping, and the need to sit and stand all contribute to a potentially hazardous space. Klaff's home design products offer solutions to assure that the bathroom supports the aging process and eliminates some of the greatest risks of aging at home.
