Aging in Place Contractor in West Hartford, CT
West Hartford features beautiful, historic homes with unique character. However, older layouts can present serious safety hazards for seniors. We specialize in making West Hartford homes safe, comfortable, and accessible.
Adapting Historic Homes for Modern Safety
Many homes in West Hartford were built between the 1920s and 1960s. While these classic colonials, capes, and split-levels are beautiful, they often feature layout characteristics that become primary fall risks as we age:
Narrow Doorways & Halls
Many older homes have doorways under 28 inches, making walker or wheelchair navigation difficult or impossible.
High-Threshold Bathtubs
Stepping over a 14-inch cast-iron tub rim on a slick porcelain floor is the single most frequent cause of residential injury.
Steep Entryway Steps
Front entries with 3 to 6 steep concrete steps without continuous safety handrails are difficult in winter weather.
Upper-Floor Bedrooms
Colonials with all bedrooms and full baths on the second floor force dangerous staircase trips multiple times a day.
