Home adaptations
Experts are now agreed that adapting ones home to deal with the problems of old age or disability is the best way to ensure maximum safety and maximum quality of life. For example a small ground floor extension to provide toilet or bathroom facilities can be a real plus for some one in a wheelchair. A wet room or shower room with easy wheelchair access at ground floor level is far more practical than a conventional bathroom on the first floor.
Something as simple as enlarging all the door frames to allow wheel chair access throughout home is not very costly but gives wheelchair users freedom to roam anywhere with ease. Installing a new kitchen that is specially adapted to give wheelchair users total access to lowered worktops and cupboards returns their independence, and as part of that new kitchen, installing a hob, oven, dishwasher and washing machine or an ironing board specially modified to be accessed from a wheelchair adds to the sense of freedom.
For those who have become house bound because of growing difficulties in dealing with steps, the installation a gently sloping ramp with handrails makes a visit to the garden or a trip to the local shops a pleasure. No one should be a prisoner in their own home.
