Living in a multi-story home offers plenty of benefits. However, as you get older, navigating the stairs can become challenging. Many seniors decide to sell their home in favor of moving into a single-level home and smaller square footage as a result. While that is certainly a viable option, a home elevator can also solve many problems. We’ve explored the different types of home elevators you can install in your home to help you overcome your physical disability.

Chain-Driven Elevators

A chain-driven home elevator offers a durable and reliable option for any home. The elevator itself is fairly compact, and it doesn’t require a separate machine room to operate, so the overall footprint is relatively small. You might be concerned with a chain-driven elevator being too noisy, but that is rarely the case. If it does become noisy over time, then it’s usually a sign that maintenance is required.

Cable-Driven Elevators

Cable-driven elevators are typically more popular than chain-driven elevators because they have multiple options and styles available. These elevators are often in commercial buildings with glass or metal shafts. It’s more cost-effective to have this type of elevator built with a new construction since they require a machine room and pit to operate.

Pneumatic Elevators

If you’re looking for an eco-friendly elevator, pneumatic elevators are the only elevator in the world powered by air. Because it is vacuum-powered, a separate machine room or pit is not required for it to operate. They offer the easiest home elevator installation for professionals. Aside from the functionality of the elevator, it is also aesthetically pleasing and space-saving. you can find some attractive options that could match your home decor, so it appears to fit in perfectly with your home.

Hydraulic Elevators

A hydraulic home elevator is one of the most luxurious elevators you can install. The quiet operation and smooth ride make it comfortable and convenient for anyone. Elevators can sometimes be jumpy or jerky, which can be dangerous for people who have balance concerns. But when you have a hydraulic elevator in your home, you won’t have to worry about those issues and you’ll barely feel it moving.

Whether you’ve experienced a physical disability due to an injury or surgery, or if you’re simply getting older and having a difficult time navigating your home, a home elevator can offer a great solution.

A person with disabilities can benefit greatly from grab bars. However, proper installation is key to ensure they can be relied on. Many people make the mistake of thinking a towel bar is the same thing as a grab bar, but the truth is they serve different purposes. Towel bars can’t withstand much more weight than a wet towel itself, while grab bars are designed to hold a person’s body weight when installed properly. Here are some of the guidelines you should know to install your grab bars properly.

ADA Standards

When a professional installs grab bars in your home, they know the accessibility standards to ensure the appropriate guidelines are followed. For example, the space between the bar and the wall should be 1.5” to allow for a comfortable grip. There shouldn’t be any objects within 12” of the grab bar, so nothing will interfere with a person from holding onto it when needed. These accessibility standards are important to follow to ensure the grab bars work effectively when needed.

Consider Your Personal Needs

Regarding the height, location, and other factors of grab bar installation, you have to consider your personal needs. If you are a tall person, you might have to have grab bars installed slightly higher than normal. Most people use grab bars by the toilet and shower or bathtub, so the next time you use those, try to visualize the perfect spot where you would want to grab for ultimate comfort and convenience. Don’t forget to consider the aesthetic appeal either. There are plenty of different options available to ensure you get the products that function great and look even better.

Have A Professional Install Your Grab Bars

While Barres d'appui might seem simple enough to install yourself, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you have any doubt about the quality of your installation skills, have a professional install them. When you go this route, you can have peace of mind knowing the bars are anchored to the wall as strongly as possible so you or your loved one can rely on it to hold you up when needed.

The team of professionals at Next Day Access wants to help you install your grab bars or other mobility products.

We all go through many different changes as we get older. Whether it’s physical changes, developing health concerns, or simply having more aches and pains in the morning, changes are the natural part of getting older. One of the changes many people experience relates to their vision. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, roughly 33% of people will have some type of eye disease by the time they turn 65. Experiencing vision loss can be inconvenient and dangerous, so here are some tips to consider for seniors who want to age in place and have poor vision.

Focus On Lighting

The appropriate lighting throughout the home is crucial to preventing falls, especially for  the bathroom and the hallway. Investing in nightlights is a simple solution to ensure seniors can navigate the space with ease. Seniors should also pay attention to which areas of their homes are brighter than others and improve the lighting in the areas that need it. 

Eliminate Clutter And Create Open Spaces

Part of senior living can include eliminating clutter throughout the home and creating open spaces as much as possible. Even items like rugs can get in the way and cause seniors to trip. It’s easier than you think to prevent falls in the home, and sometimes all it takes is removing rugs and rearranging furniture. If there’s a lot of clutter present, consider taking some time to sort through the items and donating or selling the ones you don’t need anymore.

Utilize Mobility Products And Aids

Seniors with vision loss can benefit greatly from certain mobility products and aids. Installing threshold ramps helps prevent falls, as well as simple items like grab bars in the bathroom. You could even go as far as replacing your bathtub or shower with a walk-in version; so it’s easier to access. There are a variety of resources that you can use to help you safely age in place.

Next Day Access can help seniors with vision loss have a safer living space. Seniors often don’t realize their vision is deteriorating since it’s a slow process. However, if you notice you’re tripping more often than normal or having a harder time seeing at night, then it might be time to look into some home adjustments. No matter how big or small the changes are, we can help. Be sure to Nous contacter today to schedule a free home assessment to improve the safety of your home.
