Safety-First Bathrooms: Practical Upgrades for Seniors and Those with Limited Mobility

​Slippery bathroom floors are a major hazard and can result in severe injuries for senior citizens and those with limited mobility. At Hometown Contractors, Inc., we want you to feel safe in your bathroom but still enjoy the style of it. Our bathroom remodels feature many options for accessibility and design, including safety bars, shower-tub conversions, and slip-resistant flooring.

Accessibility Features​

Safety Bars: One of our most popular and simple additions to make bathrooms safer are handrails for you to grab onto when entering and leaving your tub or shower and if you feel yourself slipping. We’ll help you choose the style and size of your safety bars during your free consultation.

Slip-resistant Flooring: No more heart-racing slips! Consider including slip-resistant flooring in your bath remodel to increase bathroom accessibility and safety.

Tub-to-Shower Conversions:  One of our services for bath remodeling is converting your tub into an accessible walk-in shower with sliding doors for easy accessibility.

Shower-to-Tub Conversions:  Our other conversion option for your bathroom is transforming your shower into a walk-in tub with wide, low-entry doors.

Additional Features:  We can also add other ADA-compliant products like built-in seating for your shower and easy-to-use controls. Thermostatic or anti-scald valves keep the water temperature steady, so you won’t have to worry about freezing cold or burning hot water when you step into the shower. Contrasting colors between the floor and the walls are also a great accessibility feature to improve visibility in the bathroom.

Style Options for a Safer Bathroom

If you’re worried that these accessibility additions may compromise the look of your bathroom, you won’t need to be with Hometown Contractors on the job! Our replacement and remodeling projects look stylish while keeping you safe and stress-free.

Our design team will help you select the best products for your bathroom, such as the type of base for your tub or shower, the color of the base, the style of the handlebars, and other accessories that will enhance your accessible bathroom.
