Safety & Mobility FAQs

When upgrading for aging in place, key factors include your home’s layout, personal needs, ADA guidelines, local codes, and budget. Mr. Handyman offers expert advice to help you make informed decisions on accessibility improvements.

  • Limitations with balance and mobility are primary contributors to falls, the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries in aging adults. Not surprisingly, about 60% of falls occur at home, partly because of accessibility or safety issues. The most common areas for falls are bathrooms, stairs, and bedrooms, from slippery floors to cluttered walkways.

    Neglected safety components like smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers make a home unsafe. Burns and scalds are also a danger, from cooking on out-of-reach appliances to bathing in too-hot water. Additionally, inadequate lighting, conventional doorways, and carpeted floors create safety risks and limit accessibility.
