Resistance is futile!
What do we resist most in our society? Number one on most people’s list is aging; we just hate to admit that we are getting on in years! You can buy lotion, potions and pills that promise to stave off the effects of our natural aging processes but time takes its toll and our bodies wear out. What does any of this have to do with Corvallis Custom Kitchens & Baths?
Studies have shown that most accidents involving older people happen in their own homes and most often in the bathroom. Since we are the local bathroom experts we researched ways to make bathrooms safer which led to further study of preparing entire homes for retirement. The results of our research is a list of home modifications to help cut down on falls and other accidents, allowing older folks to stay in their family homes independently and out of the assisted living facility.
The pro-active decision to make your home safer will not only add to your comfort but will also increase the resale value of your house. As the Baby Boomers reach retirement the need for homes already adapted for safety will be huge. Delaying a move into an Assisted Living facility for even one year can save tens of thousands of dollars, making any safety modification investments a bargain in comparison.
