Aging in Place
Stay Safe and Independent at Home as You Age
If you or a loved one are planning to stay in your home long-term, you’re not alone. In fact, nearly 3 out of 4 adults over 50 want to age in place—living in the comfort of their own home rather than moving into assisted living or in with family.
But while your heart is set on staying home, your house might not be set up to keep you safe.
That’s where aging in place remodeling comes in.
Home Modifications That Support Independence
Most homes weren’t designed with aging in mind. Narrow doorways, high tubs, steep stairs, and hard-to-reach storage can create serious risks. The good news? A few smart updates can make a huge difference.
Whether it’s something simple like installing grab bars or more involved projects like walk-in showers or stair lifts, we help you create a home that’s safe, comfortable, and functional for years to come.
“I first hired Leupitz for a kitchen remodel 25 years ago. I loved the work they did for me then, and still love the work they do for me now. Frankie and his team are efficient, knowledgeable and prompt. They really pulled through for us when we urgently needed our home made ADA compliant to care for my in-laws. I appreciate the fact that they are polite and friendly–even with my demanding dog.”
Design for All: Universal Design Principles
Many of these upgrades follow universal design standards, meaning they work well for all ages and abilities. Think wider doorways, no-step entries, and motion-sensor lighting. These aren’t just functional—they’re future-friendly.
Here are some of the most common and effective updates we offer:
Grab Bars
Discreet and sturdy, grab bars offer extra support in bathrooms, hallways, and other high-traffic areas to help prevent falls.
Walk-in Showers & Tubs
No more stepping over a high tub wall. Walk-in showers and tubs make bathing safer and easier—with built-in seating and optional grab handles.
Raised Toilets & Toilet Seats
Raised options reduce strain on your legs and knees, making daily routines more manageable.
Shower Chairs
Simple and secure, shower chairs provide a stable place to sit while bathing, reducing the risk of slipping.
Stair Lifts
A motorized seat glides up and down your staircase, allowing you to access every level of your home without the danger of falling.
Lift Chairs
These recliner-style chairs gently raise and lower to help you sit or stand without putting stress on your body.
Home Elevators
Whether inside or out, home elevators provide easy floor-to-floor access and can be customized to your space and needs.
Bed Rails
Keep yourself secure while sleeping and gain support when sitting up or getting out of bed.
Wheelchair Ramps
From portable to permanent, we install ramps that allow safe, easy entry and exit to your home.
