Housing adaptation strategies

Housing adaptation strategies involve modifying a home to better suit an individual’s changing needs, especially as they age or experience mobility challenges. These updates can include installing ramps or stairlifts, wider doorways for wheelchair access, grab bars in bathrooms, or removing obstacles to improve safety and independence. The goal is to create a comfortable, accessible environment that promotes safety, reduces risks of falls or accidents, and supports ongoing daily activities without the need for moving. Such adaptations can be tailored to meet personal or medical needs, ensuring a home remains functional and supportive over time.
