(Construction.IndustryNews247.Com, May 27, 2015 ) Columbus, OH -- The bathroom in the room that presents the greatest challenge to elderly residents or those with various physical disabilities. The local handyman is specifically trained in senior remodeling so he add features to improve accessibility and mobility in the bathroom. These modifications make a big difference in the lives of elderly residents who wish to live at home rather than moving to an alternate care facility.
Tom Mills, owner of HandyPro Handyman Services (http://handymanservicescolumbus.com) provides home modification to help overcome some of the most common bathroom problems, including small bathrooms with a cumbersome design. The tub, toilet and sink lined up along one wall or the tub and shower unit on one side, sink and commode across from it with very little room in the middle makes getting around difficult for people with walkers or wheelchairs. The narrow doorways dont make things easy either.
People with good intentions often make the matter worse when they install grab bars and hand rails but fail to properly secure them. This can be dangerous to the disabled person who relies on them for support. An improperly installed grab bar can be more dangerous than not having one at all. Towel bars should also be installed using fasteners designed to hold more weight, especially if they are located where might be grabbed.
The local handyman specializes in senior home modification with universal design principles to provide the ideal solution. There are several ways to overcome accessibility and mobility issues in the home including adding another bathroom or remodeling the existing bathroom to meet the individual needs of the resident. Solutions offered by the bathroom remodel professionals at HandyPro Handyman Services include:
Wider entry door using lever-style handles instead of traditional door knobs Adequate floor space around and leading to tub, shower, sink and toilet Wheelchair accessible with plenty of turnaround space Barrier free shower or walk in bathtub Sink designed with leg space underneath for seated use
For many people on a fixed income a complete bathroom remodel is out of the question; however, there are many easy fixes that can make a difference including rounded corners, non-slip floors, single lever faucet handles and good lighting with rocker style switches. HandyPro will send their specially trained bathroom conversion specialist to provide a free assessment and consultation to come up with the solution that works best for the homeowner and fits their budget.
