Barrier-Free Construction from Certified Aging in Place Specialists
People affected by aging or the limitations of their body enjoy a higher quality of life when surrounded by barrier-free modifications that promote safety and independence. VersaPro is a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) with contractors who specialize in identifying edits that need to be made in homes to help a person feel comfortable and self-sufficient.
When you want to live where you feel most at home, or want to equip a loved one’s home with user-friendly, barrier-free modifications, VersaPro offers the carefully designed and engineered options to address everyday needs:
- Entrances. Extended stairway and sidewalk upgrades using ramps and railings.
- Doorways. Door widening to make room for wheelchairs and walkers, as well as large spaces for transitions and turning.
- Bathroom. Bathtub modifications like walk-in tubs, roll-in showers, transfer seats, touch faucets, and easy-to-use handles and door pulls.
- Kitchen. Kitchen modifications such as accessible workstations and appliances, barrier-free fixtures, and custom cabinetry with pullouts.
Remodeling Offices to Be Barrier-Free
Handicap-accessible modifications are necessary for businesses to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). While some of the changes that need to be made in offices are carried out through support tools, device modifications, and accessibility aids, larger renovations may need to be done too.
- Doorways. Widen doorways to accommodate wheelchairs.
- Stairs. Eliminate stairs or add slopes or ramps for easier entry/exit.
- Thresholds. Smooth raised landings and thresholds to avoid mobility restriction.
- Flooring. Edit flooring to be stable, firm, and slip-resistant.
- Carpeting. Change carpeting to be a low pile height to reduce rolling resistance.
Common Barrier-Free Construction Modifications at Home
As barrier-free construction specialists, we regularly serve seniors, homebound individuals, and people with disabilities. We are prepared to work with your entire team to create a functional and safe home environment. Some of the most common requests for home modifications include:
- Grab bars. Commonly placed at comfortable heights in showers, around toilets, near beds, and in hallways, grab bars allow for continuous stability and improved safety.
- Ramps. Aluminum ramps support people in wheelchairs or those with mobility limitations who have a walker, cane, or other method of support.
- Comfort-height elements. Comfort-height toilets support independence in an area where people want to maintain privacy. Adjusting the height of kitchen elements allows for self-reliance too.
Benefits of Barrier-Free Modifications for Residential and Commercial
If someone you love is aging in place but still able-bodied, if you operate a business that does not employ anyone who needs modifications currently, things can change eventually. Prepare for the inevitable and comply now for the safe choice. The benefits of barrier-free modifications can include:
- Adaptable floor plans and designs.
- Opportunity to slowly add assistive technology.
- Existing inclusive, equal-opportunity environment.
- Access for all people.
- Increased appeal to certain demographics.
- Enhanced independence.
- Improved convenience and safety.
