Home design for safety and accessibility

05/09/2025

This weather makes me want to stay inside! BUT, if you decide to venture out, make sure your exit/entrance to your home is safe. These non slip treads are an easy and cost efficient way to make your outdoors stairs a whole lot safer.

Many hear the word ‘accessible’ and sometimes think that it means it has to look institutionalized.

I like to use the term ‘universal design’ when considering making one’s home “accessible” or “modified” to fit their needs.

Because the definition of universal design is an approach that aims to make products, environments, and services usable by as many people as possible, regardless of their abilities, ages, or disabilities. It focuses on inclusive design from the outset, reducing the need for modifications or specialized designs.

Take this picture below for example, you may see a beautifully designed bathroom, which it is. What I see is an easily accessible shower with zero entrance that anyone could get into, a sink that a wheel chair could fit under, contrasting colors that could accommodate someone with low vision.

If you are in the process of rennovating or thinking about updating your home to fit your needs, I would love to help!

April is OT month!

What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) is treatment that helps you improve your ability to perform daily tasks. It can help you learn how to move through your environment or use different tools to participate in your activities safely. OT can also help adapt and alter your environment to make it safer and more accessible.

Cheers to all the OTs out there🫶🏻🫶🏻

80% or 2/3 of falls occur in the bathroom or shower.

Main reasons include: slippery floor, lacking appropriate equipment, reaching too far for items, tripping over throw rugs or other hazards, bending for hard to reach areas.

Let me help you make your bathroom a safer place!

Did you know that 1/3 of falls can be prevented? 3 major facors that lead to falls are medications, physical conditions, and the top leading cause are environmental hazards. As an OT and Certified Aging in Place Specialist I can assess your home, recommend modifications as well as oversee remodels or renovations in order to help aging adults or person with a disability live safely and comfortably in their home.
