Up to 1 in 5 Dementia Cases May Be Attributable to Vision Impairment

As we grow older, our homes should continue to be a source of comfort, safety, and independence. Yet, for many seniors and individuals with physical challenges, the home they love can become a place of worry and limitation. That’s where thoughtful home modifications come in.

As our population ages and awareness of accessibility grows, more families are looking for ways to make their homes safer, more comfortable, and more inclusive. For seniors and individuals with physical challenges, even the smallest obstacle—like a single step at the front door or a narrow bathroom doorway—can become a major barrier to independence. That’s where home modifications come in. These changes, which can be as simple as adding grab bars or as comprehensive as redesigning entire spaces, transform houses into homes that support both safety and dignity. In this article, we’ll explore why home modifications are so important, how they improve daily life, and how Accessible Living Atlanta has been helping families create safe, functional, and beautiful homes for over 20 years.
