HealthLink Construction The remodeling of a home can become unnecessarily stressful. When remodeling for accessibility, the question is not only 'What do I want?' but, more importantly, it is 'What do I need? The right approach in the planning stage will help alleviate the potential for costly mistakes and help to insure that you achieve the desired outcome. It is best to take the time up front to fully assess your current needs and to prepare for what you feel your needs will be in the future. Every successful project needs a good blueprint and a good blueprint starts with thoughtful answers to serious questions. Become the architect of your own future with a well-designed blueprint for barrier-free living. Our Blueprint for Barrier-Free Living Some Things to Consider: What are your current concerns or challenges? Vision? Hearing? Walking Weakness or lack of agility? Safety? Are these problems temporary, on-going or urgent? What does your family history tell you? Do you need assistance or assistive equipment? Do you want to stay in your own home permanently or do you see a time when you will feel happier and more secure in an Assisted Living facility or Group Home? What changes or modifications do you see as necessary now or in the future in order to stay in your own home? What do you wish that you could do in your home that you cannot do now? Are entry steps a problem? Are doorways and hallways wide enough for a wheelchair or walker? Is the lighting adequate? Is the kitchen functional? Are interior stairs becoming obstacles? Do you need a bedroom or bathroom on the main level? Is your bathroom safe? Do you need grab-bars for safety and security? Do you need to sit while showering? Do you need a walk-in shower? Do you need better access to the sink, toilet, cabinets? What are your priorities? Do you have a budget in mind?
