π Are you getting your home ready for the holidays? Don't forget about accessibility!
As family and friends gather for Thanksgiving and the holiday season, it's worth taking a few minutes to look at your home through someone else's eyes.
For older adults, wheelchair users, and people with limited mobility, things we often overlook can make visiting a home challenging.
A few things to check before your guests arrive:
βοΈ Clear and well-lit walkways
βοΈ Accessible entrances and ramps
βοΈ Secure handrails and safe stairways
βοΈ Accessible bathrooms and grab bars
βοΈ Comfortable seating and enough room to move around
What if someone visiting your home uses a wheelchair or walker? Think about the entire journey, from getting out of the car to joining everyone at the dinner table.
And if your home needs additional accessibility solutions, there are options.
At Next Day Access Orange County, we help homeowners and families explore wheelchair ramp installations, temporary ramp rentals, stairlifts, grab bars and other home accessibility modifications.
Whether you're preparing for visiting family or planning to help an aging parent remain independent at home, we're happy to help you understand your options.
