How can I make my home more accessible through home improvement?
There are several ways to make your home more accessible through home improvement:

1. Install Ramps: Installing ramps can help make your home wheelchair accessible. This involves creating a smooth incline with adequate width, handrails, and level landings for ease of movement.

2. Modify Doorways: Widening doorways to allow for wheelchair access is important. You can install swing-away hinges, pocket doors, or sliding doors as well.

3. Handrails: It is important to install handrails on both sides of stairways and in bathrooms for stability of movement.

4. Elevators and lifts: If your home has multiple levels, it is a good idea to install an elevator or lift to allow easy movement between floors.

5. Anti-Slip Flooring: Using slip-resistant flooring materials such as carpet, rubber, or slip-resistant tiles can help prevent falls.

6. Touchless fixtures: Changing faucets, toilets, door handles to touchless fixtures can help make your home safer and more hygienic for seniors or those with disabilities.

7. Smart Home Technology: Installing smart home technology that can allow voice-activated controls, such as turning on/off lights, opening/closing blinds, and controlling the thermostat can be helpful.

8. Lowering Countertops and Cabinets: Lowering countertops and cabinets in a kitchen can be helpful in making tasks more accessible for individuals who use a wheelchair.

9. Installing Grab Bars: Installing grab bars in bathrooms and areas where balance is necessary can provide an extra source of support for individuals.

10. Wheelchair accessible showers: Installing a walk-in shower that accommodates people with disabilities is an important feature.

There are many other home modifications that can be made to create a more accessible home, and what works best will depend on your specific needs.
