(Construction.IndustryNews247.Com, July 06, 2015 ) St Paul, MN -- The bathroom is one room presenting the leading difficulty to aging homeowners or those with different physical challenges. The local handyman is highly trained in senior remodeling so he add features to improve accessibility and mobility in the bathroom. These alterations make a major difference in the lives of older residents who wish to live at home as opposed to moving to a senior care center.
Collin Dickey, owner of HandyPro Handyman Service (http://www.homemodificationstpaul.blogspot.com) provides home modification to help solve a number of the most frequent bathroom matters, including small bathrooms with an inept design. The bath tub, toilet and sink arranged along one wall or the tub and shower unit on one side, with vanity and toilet across from it leaving very little room in the middle makes navigating difficult for people that have walkers or wheelchairs. The narrow doorways don't make things easy either.
People with good intentions often make the issue even worse when they install grab bars and hand rails but do not properly secure them. This can be risky to the elderly person who relies on them for support. An incorrectly installed grab bar is often more dangerous than not having one at all. Towel bars should also be installed using fasteners designed to support more weight, especially if they are located where may be grabbed.
The local handyman provides senior home retrofitting with universal design principles to provide the ideal solution. There are a number of ways to overcome accessibility and mobility complications in the home including adding another bathroom or renovating the existing bathroom to satisfy the individual needs of the resident. Solutions provided by the bathroom remodel specialists at HandyPro Handyman Services involve:
• Broader entry door using lever-style handles in place of conventional door knobs • Adequate floor room surrounding and leading to bath tub, shower, sink and toilet • Wheelchair accessible with sufficient turnaround space • Wheel in shower or walk-in tub • Sink constructed with leg space underneath for seated use
For lots of folks on a fixed income a thorough bathroom remodel is out of the question; but, there are many simple fixes that can make a difference including round edges, slip-resistant flooring, single lever faucet handles and adequate lighting with rocker style switches. HandyPro will send their highly trained bathroom design specialist to provide a free assessment and consultation to come up with the solution that works best for the customer and fits their budget.
