How to Age-Proof Your Bathroom

What is age-proofing?

This hot new trend is exactly what it sounds like--turning your bathroom into one that transcends all adult life stages. Age-proofing your home now during a bathroom renovation saves time and money spent on future improvements to accommodate aging adults. In reality, age-proofing has been around for a long time, it just usually takes place after an adult has reached the geriatric stage and needs to make their bathroom a safer place. Now, homeowners are killing two birds with one stone by asking contractors to create bathrooms that are already prepared for later life stages.
