If we\u2019re fortunate enough to have one early, we can set it up so we can adapt to this place as soon as possible. One of the critical rooms you need to think about is the bathroom. To help our loved ones maintain their independence without affecting their safety while using the bathroom, we must remodel it according to their needs.<\/p><p>Below are some exciting designs you need to incorporate into your bathroom if you or your loved ones are aging in place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af07536 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"af07536\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.

For example, you should have at least one full bathroom on your home\u2019s ground floor. And if you\u2019re planning to have one upstairs, at least install a chair lift or an elevator on your home so they can access the other levels of your house.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0ac842 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a0ac842\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

For this reason, those planning a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bathroomremodel-charlottenc.com\/bathroom-remodelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bathroom remodel in Charlotte, NC<\/a>, are urged to make their new bathrooms more spacious. They must consider using canes, wheelchairs, and many other assistive devices to make the space more comfortable for the elderly. Experts suggest focusing on the spaces around the bathtubs, shower stalls, and toilets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b2e3cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2b2e3cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

To make things more comfortable, experts recommend replacing the toilet seat with an appropriate height or installing seat extenders. You must also consider the elderly\u2019s height and physical capabilities, so think twice before installing a handicap-accessible toilet, as it can bring more harm than good.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a89a91 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5a89a91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.

These devices can help the elderly stand or walk if they need assistance and nobody can help them. Experts recommend grabbing bars that can support 250 to 300 pounds. While at it, pick up grab bars with texture so anyone can grab them quickly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a0b82f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a0b82f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5.

The same can be said for the fixed shower heads. To make the shower area more convenient, experts recommend that those planning for an aging-in-place\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bathroomremodel-charlottenc.com\/tub-and-shower-remodelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bathroom remodel in Charlotte, NC<\/a>, opt for a <a href=\"https:\/\/silvercross.com\/roll-in-showers\/#:~:text=Roll%2Din%20showers%2C%20also%20called,the%20wheelchair%20to%20roll%20over.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">roll-in shower<\/a>. It is a curb-less type of shower with a minimum width of 36 inches, making it easier for people on wheelchairs to maneuver around the space.<\/p><p>As for the shower heads, you could get an adjustable shower head and combine it with a hand-held shower head. Doing so can make an elderly\u2019s shower experience safer and much more convenient. And while you\u2019re at it, consider installing shower seats in your shower space to alleviate the pain from standing for extended periods.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24df736 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"24df736\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Aging-in-Place Bathroom Remodel in Charlotte, NC, Done Right<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af2835b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"af2835b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/bathroomremodel-charlottenc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/anti-dandruff-products-by-the-bathroom-sink.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-681\" alt=\"Aging-in-Place Bathroom Remodel in Charlotte, NC, Done Right\u200b\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bathroomremodel-charlottenc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/anti-dandruff-products-by-the-bathroom-sink.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bathroomremodel-charlottenc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/anti-dandruff-products-by-the-bathroom-sink-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bathroomremodel-charlottenc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/anti-dandruff-products-by-the-bathroom-sink-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f38f514 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f38f514\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Remodeling a bathroom for luxury is one thing; renovating it for aging-in-place is another.
