Aging in place remodeling is catching on.

Thanks to new and simple renovations such as replacing door handles with easy-to-use levers, elderly people will be able to stay in their homes longer.

Other improvements are putting in 17-inch-high toilets that used to be called senior toilets.

Making aging in place adjustments can cut down on nursing home costs, because if an elderly person can stay in their home for at least five more years, that will save thousands of dollars.

Also, for an elderly person to be able to maintain independence a little longer will keep them happier and help them to avoid being warehoused in nursing homes.
