Safe Space Home design for safety and accessibility

Upgrading your kitchen? There are so many things to think about. Counters, cabinets, lighting, appliances! There are so many amazing options out there to make your kitchen beautiful AND aging in place friendly. See below for how my client decided to make her kitchen more accessible. Pull out drawers instead of lower cabinets and inserts for above cabinets so she can reach items! She also had her oven raised to not have to bend over when reaching for items and made her stove top w/c accessible by removing cabinetry below. I would love to help you redesign your kitchen!

Happy OT month! Those who know me know I LOVE my job and have a passion for it. Being an OT, you don’t see the diagnosis, you see the person. The mother, the son, the employee, the homemaker, the student, the person trying to enjoy retirement. It’s an honor to help these people achieve their personal goals.❤️❤️

Grab bars!

I get this question a lot…”can’t I just get suction grab bars?”

Short answer….you shouldn’t 🫣

while suction grab bars are an easier/faster solution, they are not a safer solution.

1. They lose suction frequently. If you are not checking prior to each use, more than likely when you go to grab it one time it will come right off.

2. They are not meant for pulling, they are meant for balance. Although they are advertised for a certain weight limit, they are not safe enough to use for your primary source of pulling to stand from a shower chair/bench.

3. False sense of security. People who tend to use them only for balance feel they are providing adequate support when in reality that is not true. So if you lose your balance/slip and attempt to grab a suction bar it will most likely not hold up.

There are many options for size, colors, and textures and even shapes to fit everyone’s needs!

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions 🙂
