What, if any... [View all]
changes or modifications have people had to make to their homes over the years to accommodate limited mobility, etc.?
I just turned 61 this year and find that more and more I have to make changes to my living spaces to compensate for a decreasing level of ability.
Like the metal grab bars on stairs, near the master bath shower, and even one next to the commode in the main bathroom.
Having Mr Pipi drill holes in my laundry basket and looping a rope through so I can pull the basket from hamper to washer/dryer, etc.
Last year I got a new front loading HE washer dryer that's so much easier to use, especially since they're on those drawer pedestals. I can sit and load/unload laundry, drag it over to the bed (in the basket with the rope handle), and then sit while I fold it.
Re-arranging cabinets to make dishes, etc., more accessible.
I have to admit that some of the ideas we've put into place are somewhat creative
Like yesterday when I put a quantity of bleach into a squeeze bottle I can handle instead of trying to pour it from a big gallon bottle into the bleach dispenser on top of the washer and spilling it all over the bedroom rug because that's where the laundry area is located.
What changes have you all had to make over the years?
