What Is Aging-in-Place?

At its core, aging-in-place is a fairly simple concept. The goal is to keep your home safe, make things more comfortable, and allow you to feel confident in performing daily tasks and functions.

Though the concept is simple enough, it’s important to understand that aging-in-place modifications may require a lot of changes and alterations to your home — it all depends on your preferences and needs.

Our aging-in-place services in New Hampshire and Massachusetts can include:

  • Updating or altering lighting for better visibility and security
  • Replacing or modifying staircases with more accessible options
  • Adjusting cabinets and/or countertops for simpler access
  • Creating low-maintenance home modifications
  • Expanding hallways and doorways
  • Creating non-slip flooring for kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and more
  • Increasing security systems
  • Altering and remodeling bedrooms

These are a few of the more common options available, but it all comes down to what options are the best for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Remodeling or downsizing your home are both viable options, depending on your personal preferences, budget, and functional needs.

Downsizing to a smaller home can make maintenance and mobility easier while remodeling your home for aging-in-place modifications can allow you to remain in your home and community for longer.

Aging-in-place modifications can include adding grab bars, non-slip flooring, wider doorways, and lever handles, among other changes that improve accessibility and safety.

Home modifications for aging-in-place can increase the value of your home, especially if the changes are well-designed and aesthetically pleasing.

These modifications can also make your home more appealing to potential buyers since they offer added convenience, accessibility, and safety.

Aging-in-place modifications in a two-story home typically involve ensuring that all of the main living areas — bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, etc. — are on the first floor so that you don’t have to use stairs frequently.

If you do need to access the second floor, modifications such as installing a stair lift can make it safer and easier to use the stairs. Other modifications may include installing handrails, non-slip surfaces, and more lighting on stairs.

Remember to consult with a professional home remodeling company and your occupational therapist to determine the best modifications for your specific needs and circumstances.

Seamless and World Class Blackdog was the most professional business that I had worked with. Everything from the beginning of the project to the end was handled exceptionally and I felt confident that the project was going to get done correctly as they continually strived for my satisfaction. Scheduling and budgeting a large interior… James Y. Methuen, MA
Top-Notch Outfit Blackdog is a top notch outfit... we had a major renovation at our home. We had never done any work of this magnitude, but from design to renovation never felt uncomfortable or out of touch with where things stood. We felt like we had full control through the whole process… Sonny Z. Lexington, MA
Look forward to additional projects! We hired Blackdog to remodel our master bath and we could not have been more pleased with the process from start to the finished product! Our designer was awesome and took into consideration all of our requests. It was a pleasure to see the design she crafted come to life… Tonya H. Londonderry, NH
Integrity, professionalism and craftsmanship If you're looking for a truly full-service contractor, I cannot recommend Blackdog Builders highly enough! Blackdog is the perfect combination of integrity, professionalism, and craftsmanship. Susan S. North Andover, MA
VERY happy with the result! This was a complete kitchen overhaul — strip back to the studs and start new. Blackdog did the design and build. On the whole, we had a very good experience with Blackdog. The work was finished within the proposed cost, and the three-month schedule was kept — work went over… David K. Boxford, MA
