What To Consider With Your Aging-In-Place Bathroom
An aging-in-place bathroom remodeling project requires careful consideration of both current and future needs to ensure a safe, accessible, and comfortable environment. Here's what homeowners need to consider:
Accessibility: Consider the ease of access to the bathroom, including wide doorways, low thresholds, and layouts that accommodate mobility aids like walkers or wheelchairs.
Barrier-Free Showers: Opt for roll-in or walk-in showers without curbs, equipped with non-slip surfaces and grab bars for added safety.
Toilet Height: Installing toilets at a comfortable height, along with support bars, can make usage more manageable.
Sink and Vanity Design: Consider a sink design that allows for seated access if needed, with lever-handled faucets for easier operation.
Flooring Choices: Select non-slip, textured flooring materials that minimize the risk of falls, even when wet.
Adequate Lighting: Proper lighting is essential for visibility and safety. Consider adding adjustable lighting that can be tailored to different needs and times of the day.
Storage Accessibility: Design storage solutions at reachable heights, with easy-to-use handles and pull-out shelves where necessary.
Assistive Features: Think about adding features such as grab bars, shower seats, handheld showerheads, and other assistive devices that can be customized to individual needs.
Aesthetics and Comfort: An aging-in-place bathroom doesn't have to feel clinical. Consider finishes, colors, and fixtures that match the rest of the home's style while still providing the necessary functionality.
Professional Guidance: Consult with a contractor specializing in aging-in-place remodeling to ensure that all modifications meet current standards and guidelines.
Budget Consideration: Determine a realistic budget that includes not only immediate modifications but also potential future needs as mobility or health changes.
Long-Term Flexibility: Plan for flexibility in design that can accommodate changing needs over time, making it easier to update or adapt the space as required.
Compliance with Local Regulations: Ensure that the remodel complies with local building codes and regulations specific to accessibility.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: Consider implementing energy-efficient fixtures and sustainable materials to enhance the overall comfort and efficiency of the space.
By considering these factors, homeowners can create a bathroom that not only meets their immediate needs but also anticipates future requirements, ensuring a comfortable and independent lifestyle for years to come. Collaborating with a knowledgeable contractor with experience in aging-in-place design can further help in tailoring the space to the individual's specific needs and preferences.

What Our Clients Are Saying...
Recently worked with LoneStar to remodel a bathroom and replace the kitchen counters and backsplash. They far exceeded my expectations from initial discussions on designs to the completed and flawless finish. Anna was extremely helpful in assisting in selecting designs and colors. They continuously provided progress updates and cleaned at the end of each day. Impeccable costumer service and professional - I highly recommend!
We had our kitchen cabinets updated by painting them white. I am so glad we hired Lonestar Home Solutions and did not try to do it ourself! I knew what I wanted but I felt so much more confident I would get the right look with their help. I was impressed with the companies core values and professionalism and would definitely recommend them! Every part of the experience was smooth and timely. The staff are awesome people to work with! The painter that came to our house was very reliable, punctual, trustworthy, kept all areas clean, and clearly communicated his plans/schedule daily. He did an outstanding job on our cabinets! So go with these pros, you’ll be so glad you did!
I needed some modifications done to my counter and cabinets in my kitchen to accommodate a different style of stove. I had felt unsuccessful in finding someone to do this for me until I met Roland and his crew. They started the transformation quickly and only took 2 short days! They left absolutely no mess or cleaning for me! Thank you for helping me with "Solution "!
My wife and I have used LoneStar Home Solutions on 3 different occasions to do work on our lakehouse in Seguin. The most recent job was the biggest - a kitchen and bath remodel. We have really appreciated the care that their staff puts into making sure the project turns out the way we want it. Alycia, the project coordinator and Roland the construction manager are both excellent. They answer questions, help with decisions, and most importantly, are easy to contact and follow through with their commitments. We would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them.
We recently had LoneStar Home Solutions do work on our kitchen and bathroom. Roland was in charge of the crew and Donna was also a supervisor on our job. This company did outstanding work for us. They were very respectful of our time when asking questions. Roland was always accessible to answer any questions that we had. Donna was also keeping us apprised of any changes to or updates in our billing so it was easy to keep up with the accounting part. The work crew were especially kind and they all knew their trade well. We got to know some of the work crew pretty well. Sparky, Johnny, and Victor all did great tile and painting work. The guy who installed the shower also did a great job. I would definitely recommend LoneStar to any of my family members and friends for any remodel job in the future. We are very pleased with the way our home turned out.
LoneStar Solutions just remodeled my kitchen and they did an outstanding job! Donna was amazing. She kept me up to date and informed me about the progress. Roland and his crew made sure my kitchen was going to look good. They took the time to focus on the smallest details which made all the difference. I am very pleased with their work and would recommend them for your next home project.
