While each homeowner struggling with a disability has different needs and wants, there are many ways to reduce personal challenges making homes more user-friendly or accessible. More extreme disabilities require a more specialized design. Replacing bathtubs with showers is one of the most common renovations done to accomplish a need for greater usability during an Austin accessibility design. While walk-in tubs are available, a wheelchair or walker cannot enter them and transferring into the tub is dangerous. What's more beyond the high price tag associated with walk-in tubs, completely saturated bathers risk hypothermia while sitting in a slow draining tub until the water disappears before they can open the door to escape to a warm towel. Showers, on the other hand, are useful for people with limited mobility as well as those in wheelchairs or using a walker. A folding shower seat is recommended for safety. An easy fix for added shower versatility beyond a fixed shower head is accomplished by installing a hand-held shower wand on a sliding mast. Adding a recessed shampoo niche prevents clutter along the shower floor. Installing grab bars on secure blocking around the shower perimeter adds additional bathing safety. The presence of an ADA compatible roll under vanity inside the bath gives equal access for personal hygiene to a seated person. Along with accompanying grab bars, a taller toilet makes it easier for those with limited mobility to stand. Toilet lifts are available to aid in standing if the users legs have become too weak to stand. Be sure to leave enough room around the toilet and sink for the wheelchair to easily approach.

Along with aging in place, universal design is becoming more of a household term. Essentially, it’s about building or modifying places and spaces—both public and private—to accommodate people of all ages and abilities. More than just an architectural concept, universal design is a win-win for sandwich generation boomers caring for aging parents and their children at home, for grandparents raising grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and for all who are facing the challenges of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or other chronic diseases. T-Square Company offers many knowledgeable accessibility solutions for their customers to help ease the struggles when dealing with a disability.Every design is customized around your personal needs.
