INDEPENDENT LIVING & ACCESSIBILITY

For People of All Ages & Abilities

We have a lot of good memories in our homes.  So when given the chance most of us want to stay in our homes for as long as we can regardless of our age or ability level.  In order to do so your home needs to be safe from obstacles and offer you the ability to move around easily and without the risk of injury.  At HCH Construction Services we know that home modifications mean different things to different people.  We will explore your options and answer all your questions as you are looking to improve your quality of life in your home.  We are here to assist you from small to large modifications designed to enhance your home preparing it for your needs now and in the future.

​

Common independent living modifications include:

  • Barrier free (roll-in) showers

  • Walk-in tub steps

  • Widened doorways

  • Bathroom and bedroom grab bars

  • Higher toilets

  • Ramps or a gently sloping sidewalk to your front door

  • Entrances without steps

  • No-glare, slip-resistant kitchen and bathroom floors

  • Interior doors with lever handles

  • Modified countertop heights

  • Contrasting counter tops and flooring, because aging eyes can lose depth perception

  • Raised dishwashers to prevent strain when loading and unloading

  • Shallow or even motorized sink that raises and lowers

  • Side mounted, hands-free or lever-handled faucets that are easier to reach

  • Cabinets with convenient pullout shelves or pull-down shelves in the upper cabinets to help make items easily accessible

  • "D" shaped pulls on cabinets and drawers to help make it easier to open and close them

  • Light switches and electrical outlets that can be reached from a wheelchair

​

As many homes are shared with other family members, accessible designs must address multiple requirements.  Identifying and understanding these factors is the first step in making the right home modification decisions. Our goal at HCH Construction Services is to create an accessible, comfortable and safe home that will allow everyone living in the home to enjoy the convenience and beauty of their home.

​

Providing independent, accessible living for people of all ages and abilities has become a cornerstone of HCH Construction Services' offerings.  We are a full-service construction company, accredited by the Better Business Bureau and fully licensed and insured for your protection.  Our affordable services and products allow homeowners to live their lives comfortably and safely in their current home for years to come.
