Follow This Checklist to Make Your Home More Accessible



A well-designed home isn’t only about style and curb appeal. If you’re planning to include more accessibility features in your home remodel, search online for “home remodeler near me” and check out the mobility remodeling services offered by DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Lakes! 

We’ve made a checklist below to help you identify which types of accessibility features you need for your home remodel:

Bathroom Accessibility

  • Tub & Shower: You should install hand-held showerheads and non-slip flooring and seats. They should be equipped with grab bars for added safety when entering and exiting the tub or shower.
  • Switches: They should be at a height that can be reached even by children or someone who’s in a wheelchair.
  • Water Heater: Make sure to turn down the water heater thermostat to prevent accidental scalding. This is also a good idea if you have small children at home.

Kitchen Accessibility

  • Faucets: Make sure to have faucets that have extended handles and spouts and are operable with one hand. You can also consider faucets with electric sensors that automatically turn on or off if you have a family member who has limited strength.
  • Sinks: For kitchen mobility remodeling, the depth of your sink should be considered, especially if you have a family member who’s in a wheelchair. Consider installing a sink that’s shallower than standard ones.
  • Countertops: Consider adjusting some of your countertops and work surfaces to a 30-inch height for better accessibility for a person in a wheelchair, or even children who want to help out in the kitchen. Countertops with rounded edges should be considered to reduce injury.
