Aging in Place
Helping You Grow Older at Home
Let Graceful Living Solutions help you to grow older at home with affordable, accessible updates.
Aging in place is the process of staying in your own home as you grow older, rather than relocating or moving into an institutional setting. Modifications can make it easier for you to navigate and live in your home as you age. Our goal is to help improve your mobility and home safety as you age since you become more prone to falls and other accidents in the home.
According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, by 2035 one in five people will be over 65 years old. And an overwhelming majority — 90 percent, according to the AARP, plan to remain in their homes as they age.
Aging in Place Services
The top aging-in-place projects homeowners focus on are related to safety and functionality, such as adding grab bars somewhere in the home. Often, this is in a location such as a bathroom or bedroom to assist in stabilization or standing up. A high percentage of projects involve installing nonslip flooring (especially in the bathroom), adding brighter light fixtures, adding a ramp to the home’s entrance, widening doorways or hallways, adding lever handles on doors, adding pullout shelves in kitchen cabinets, and even adding a bedroom or bathroom on the home’s first floor.
