Making A Home Safe For Seniors

As your parents get older there are more challenges around the house in terms of maintenance and keeping them safe from accidents. They may not recognize the need for these changes but it’s something you should definitely consider implementing. Here are some important ideas for how to make a home safe for seniors:

Removing Tripping Hazards

Tripping and falling is one of the biggest dangers facing a senior around the house. You need to go through the home and make sure all electrical cords are tucked away. Any area rugs that could be slipped on should be tacked down or removed altogether. Even something small like a footstool could turn into a tripping hazard. It is better to get rid of it altogether.

Secure Staircases

If your parents are still mobile enough to go up and down the stairs, then you need to make sure the railings are sturdy. If the stairs have runners on them, then they need to be tacked down tightly. You might also want to install motion sensor lights to make sure those stairs are always illuminated.

Improving the Bathroom

Bathrooms are where most of the falls occur in a home. That’s true for seniors and for everybody else. Grip handles to get in and out of the bathtub are a good idea. Make sure there are rubber treads on that bathtub and of bathmat that won’t be slippery. Nonskid shower mats are a wise investment. It is also a good idea to set the water heater thermostat 120° or below. That can go a long way towards preventing accidental scalding from hot water.

Remove Locks

Doorknobs that have built-in locking mechanisms like those found on bathrooms or bedrooms could inadvertently be triggered. A lever style door handle is much easier to operate and won’t be accidentally locked.

Flashlights

Flashlights should be placed in every room just in case of a power outage. This is a good rule for your house as well. You don’t ever want to be stumbling around in the dark.

Remove the Clutter

Along with securing rugs and electric cords, you should also consider removing any excess clutter from your parent’s home. You definitely don’t want to have any exits blocked by furniture or boxes. Junk King Houston can be a big asset for this type of project. These are the junk removal pros that provide a friendly moving team for all the lifting and loading chores. It’s a good chance to get rid of heavy objects without lifting a finger. Junk King Houston can also clear out all the clutter from closets, basements and garages.

Great Ways To Save Money On A Bathroom Remodel

How long have you been dreaming of an amazing bathroom? Maybe this is the summer you’ll finally make that dream a reality.

That is especially true when it comes to budgeting. You can still have an amazing bathroom without it costing a fortune. Here are some great ways to save money on your bathroom remodel:

Hire a Designer

Hiring a designer for your bathroom might seem like an added expense but it is money well spent. If you can work out a detailed plan with your designer to include a timeline, budget and the actual the core, then you’ll be ahead of the game. This plan will become your “map” that you will need to stick to throughout the project. It’s much better than making up things as you go along.

Don’t Move Around the Plumbing

It took a lot of effort to get those bathroom pipes where they are. You don’t need to move around the plumbing. Even if you’re knocking out walls to make more space you can still leave all your fixtures right where they are. Rerouting pipes could cost you several thousand dollars. Is it really worth it considering the limited amount of space you have?

Frame a Huge Mirror

Many bathroom mirrors are tiny and attached to medicine cabinets. That won’t cut it for your dream bathroom. You can buy a builder grade mirror and surround it with a terrific frame at a fraction of the cost of a huge hanging mirror that you would get at a high-end to interior design store. In a bathroom, the bigger the mirror the better.

Replace the Seat and Lid

Upgrading your bathroom might have you thinking about replacing the toilet. But when you get right down to it, a toilet is a toilet. What you can do is replace the seat and lid to your current toilet. Plenty of options that are all standard.

Do Your Own Demolition

A large part of any remodeling project is the demolition. In a bathroom remodel that can involve taking down cabinets, pulling up linoleum and busting up tiles. You could probably do a lot of that work yourself. The only thing you need to account for is how to clean it all up once you’ve created a pile of debris. One call to Junk King Houston gets that job done. They’ll send over a pair of movers and a big truck who can quickly clean up all your demolition debris. That will have the site ready for workers the next day. You could even book Junk King Houston at the end of the project to clean up any remaining construction waste. Count on Junk King Houston to make sure your bathroom remodel project stays clean.
