Start with the bathroom

Falls in the bathroom are the leading cause of injury for seniors. A walk-in shower with a built-in seat, grab bars, and non-slip tile can be life-changing. Budget $3,000-$8,000 for a comprehensive bathroom safety upgrade.

Universal design principles

Wider doorways (36 in), lever handles, rocker light switches, and zero-threshold entries benefit everyone, not just seniors. These upgrades are increasingly expected by homebuyers.
