FROM GARDEN TUB TO TRUE INDEPENDENCE – Woodstock, GA Renovation

When a fire or emergency strikes, seconds matter. For someone who is wheelchair-bound, uses a walker, or struggles with mobility , getting out of the home can become nearly impossible without proper planning and modification. In Georgia, building codes require at least one operable emergency exit , and most homes include two egress points so one can serve as a backup if the other is blocked. But here’s the challenge: If both exits have steps… If doorways are too narrow… If there’s no clear, safe path outside… If the threshold is too high for a wheelchair… Those exits aren’t truly accessible. ✔ Common Barriers We See: High thresholds Narrow doors Multiple steps at all exits No ramp access Obstacles in the egress path Heavy exterior doors difficult to operate ✔ Home Modifications That Change Outcomes: Zero-threshold exterior doors Ramps or modular ramp systems Widened doorways Smooth, slip-resistant paths to safe areas Vertical platform lifts (when terrain prevents ramp installation) Reinforced grab bars at exit points An emergency is not the time to discover a home’s limitations. Planning ahead means safety, dignity, and peace of mind for families and caregivers. 📞 770-301-8165 | 🌐 www.alatlanta.com
