Studies by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies (“Improving America’s Housing 2023 Report”) show that bathrooms are the most common rooms requiring modifications for aging residents. Slippery surfaces, limited maneuverability in tight spaces, and a lack of grab bars can all contribute to falls, a major concern for older adults. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that falls are the leading cause of injury deaths among adults aged 65 and over.
The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the importance of creating age-friendly environments that promote health and well-being. Remodeling offers safety, comfort, peace of mind and may even increase the value of your home.
