Hidden Barriers in the Home You Might Not Notice — Until You Need To
For many homeowners, safety hazards aren’t always obvious. But for seniors, individuals with mobility challenges, or those recovering from surgery or injury, the smallest details can become major barriers.
At Accessible Living Atlanta, we often find that “hidden obstacles” are the very things that cause the most difficulty — or lead to falls — such as:
🚪 Narrow doorways that restrict wheelchair or walker access
💡 Poor lighting in hallways or bathrooms
⚡ Outlets or switches placed too low or too high
🚿 Showers with a small step-over lip that can cause tripping
🪑 Low toilets or chairs that make standing difficult
These are things most people overlook until mobility changes make them impossible to ignore.
A home doesn’t have to look unsafe to be unsafe. A few thoughtful modifications can eliminate those hidden barriers — and restore comfort, confidence, and independence.
