Making Your Home Safe for the Future

As more homeowners choose to stay in their houses longer, the concept of aging in place is becoming increasingly popular—especially here in Colorado Springs. Instead of moving to an assisted living facility later in life, many are opting to remodel their homes to ensure safety, accessibility, and comfort well into their senior years.

At Fortune Homes, LLC, owner Scott Fortune and our experienced team have helped countless families create homes that grow with them. From barrier-free bathrooms to user-friendly kitchens and cozy basement suites for visiting loved ones, aging-in-place remodeling is about blending practicality with style.

Here’s how to make your home safer for the future—without sacrificing the warmth and character you love.

Transforming Basements into Accessible Living Spaces

Bathrooms can present some of the biggest challenges as mobility needs change. Slippery surfaces, high tub edges, and tight layouts can all become hazards over time. With the right updates, though, you can create a space that is both safe and spa-like.

Popular aging-in-place upgrades include walk-in showers with bench seating, non-slip tile flooring, grab bars that blend into the design, and comfort-height toilets. Even simple touches like lever-style faucets and wider doorways can make a world of difference.

If you’ve been thinking about refreshing your bathroom anyway, this might be the perfect opportunity to incorporate accessibility features into a thoughtfully designed bath retreat. That way, your bathroom will look stunning while also supporting your needs for years to come.

Creating Kitchens That Work for Every Stage of Life

The kitchen is the heart of the home—and it should remain that way, even as your lifestyle changes. Thoughtful aging-in-place kitchen design focuses on reducing strain, improving reachability, and maximizing safety without sacrificing style.

Some key upgrades include pull-out shelves, soft-close drawers, and under-cabinet lighting to improve visibility. Lowering a section of countertop for seated meal prep, swapping knobs for easier-to-grip handles, and using slip-resistant flooring are also common features.

This is a great time to plan a future-friendly culinary remodel that combines efficiency and elegance. Designing with accessibility in mind today can help you avoid costly, disruptive renovations later on.

Transforming Basements into Accessible Living Spaces

Basements often go unused, but they can be transformed into ideal spaces for aging family members or for your own future needs. Whether it’s a comfortable guest suite, an in-law apartment, or a quiet home office, these spaces offer privacy and flexibility.

To make a basement aging-friendly, consider adding a full bathroom, widening doorways, and installing good lighting. If stairs may become an issue, you can plan for stair lifts or even stack closets for a potential future elevator. Proper insulation and moisture control are also essential to ensure comfort year-round.

If you’re ready to make better use of this square footage, explore how a complete lower-level conversion can add both value and long-term functionality to your home.

Small Details That Make a Big Difference

Not every aging-in-place improvement requires a major renovation. Sometimes the smallest details can have the greatest impact on safety and independence.

Here are a few quick upgrades to consider throughout your home:

  • Widening doorways to at least 36 inches for wheelchair or walker access

  • Replacing round doorknobs with lever-style handles

  • Improving lighting in hallways, staircases, and entrances

  • Adding railings on both sides of stairways

  • Installing non-slip flooring and removing tripping hazards like area rugs

  • Automating lights, thermostats, and security systems for easy control

These subtle changes can help you maintain your independence while keeping your home stylish and welcoming.

Planning Ahead with Confidence

The best part of aging-in-place remodeling is the peace of mind it provides. By planning ahead now, you can stay in the home you love while making it safer, more comfortable, and more functional.
