As we age, our homes need to evolve with us, and making the right modifications can help ensure your forever home is functional, accessible, and safe for the long term. So what are the best modifications for aging in place? The best modifications include grab bars, curbless showers, and a main-floor laundry, which make your home more accessible and comfortable as you age.

On this episode of the Holmes on Homes Podcast, Mike Holmes is joined by his daughter Sherry Holmes as they sit down with Ronny Wiskin, an Accessibility Specialist at MED+ Health, to explore the top modifications and home designs to make your home truly aging-in-place ready. How do you modify your bathroom for aging in place? How do you improve accessibility between floors in a multi-story home?

Mike and his guests also dive into chair lifts for multi-story homes, ramps, and other solutions to ensure that mobility is never an issue. They discuss space-saving ideas for older homes, like adding a main-floor laundry, which is crucial for making your home more practical and convenient as you age.

Whether you’re a homeowner planning ahead, a caregiver helping a loved one, or someone simply looking to make aging in place work, this episode offers expert advice on how to transform your home into a space that will continue to meet your needs as you grow older.
