Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to an Aging in Place Survey Report, grab bars and entrance ramps are the most commonly completed projects representing the needs both of people in wheelchairs (ramps and wider doorways) and those with balance, strength, or mobility concerns (grab bars, levers, and softer flooring). These projects represented 76 percent and 64 percent of completed projects, respectively (Cusato, 2015, p. 3).
Replacing round doorknobs with levers makes gripping easier on arthritic hands. In the kitchen, opening the areas below the sink and at countertops enables people to sit while working. The addition of pull-down shelves above and/or pull-out shelves below eases reaching and bending. Other modifications may include adding a bathroom and/or moving the master bedroom to the ground floor. When this is not feasible, adding a stair lift to the stairway to access the upper floor may suffice. As with any intervention, the client's interests, needs, and priorities must lead the intervention. The client should agree to any modification and demonstrate an ability to safely move through the modified environment.
