Aging in Place: Handyman Modifications for Senior Living

Essential Modifications for Senior Safety

With over 46 years in the contracting industry, AEB Services has built a reputation for reliability and excellence. Our extensive experience means we’ve encountered and addressed nearly every home modification challenge imaginable. AEB Services prioritizes our customers’ needs, offering free consultations and detailed quotes. 

This transparent approach ensures that seniors and their families understand the scope of work and the associated costs, fostering trust and confidence. Being deeply rooted in Sussex County, AEB Services understands the unique needs of the local community. Our personalized service reflects a genuine commitment to enhancing the living spaces of their neighbors, with options like:

  1. Interior Painting: One might not immediately consider painting as a crucial modification for senior living, but it plays a significant role in creating a safe and pleasant environment. High-contrast colors can help differentiate between walls, floors, and obstacles, reducing the risk of trips and falls. AEB Services’ expertise in interior painting ensures that homes are not only aesthetically pleasing but also safer for seniors.
  2. Vinyl Plank Flooring Installation: Flooring is a critical aspect of home safety. Slippery surfaces can be hazardous for seniors, increasing the risk of falls. Vinyl plank flooring is an excellent solution, providing a non-slip surface that is both durable and easy to maintain. AEB Services excels in installing vinyl plank flooring, ensuring a seamless, safe transition in every room of the house.
  3. Handyman/General Repairs: Regular maintenance and repairs are vital to keeping a home safe and functional. From fixing loose handrails to repairing broken steps, the handyman services offered by AEB Services address a wide range of potential hazards. Our commitment to detailed workmanship ensures that every repair contributes to a safer living environment for seniors.
  4. TV Mounting: While mounting a TV might seem like a minor task, it can significantly enhance safety and convenience for seniors. A properly mounted TV reduces the risk of it tipping over, which can be especially dangerous in homes with limited mobility. AEB Services’ professional TV mounting ensures that electronics are securely installed and easily accessible.
  5. Trim Work: Detailed trim work, including baseboards, window trims, and crown molding, not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of a home but also contributes to its safety. Well-installed trim can eliminate sharp edges and create a smoother, more navigable living space. AEB Services takes pride in our thoroughness, making sure every detail is both beautiful and functional.
 

Creating a Comfortable and Accessible Home

To effectively age in place, seniors need homes that cater to their changing mobility and health requirements. Here are some key modifications that can make a significant difference:

  • Bathroom Upgrades: Installing grab bars, non-slip mats, and walk-in showers can greatly enhance bathroom safety. These modifications help prevent falls and make daily routines easier to manage.
  • Kitchen Adjustments: Lowering countertops, installing pull-out shelves, and ensuring appliances are within easy reach can make the kitchen a more accessible and safer space for seniors.
  • Lighting Improvements: Adequate lighting is crucial for preventing accidents. Adding motion-sensor lights in hallways, staircases, and bathrooms can help seniors navigate their homes safely at all hours.
  • Doorway Widening and Ramp Installation: For seniors using wheelchairs or walkers, wider doorways and ramps are essential. These modifications allow for easier movement throughout the home and eliminate the need for navigating stairs.
