​As more seniors choose to age in place, adapting homes to accommodate their evolving needs has become a growing priority. Aging in place allows seniors to maintain their independence, stay in familiar surroundings, and avoid the high costs of assisted living facilities. However, to make this possible, homes often require modifications to enhance safety, accessibility, and comfort. These adaptations may include installing grab bars in bathrooms, widening doorways for wheelchair access, improving lighting, and adding non-slip flooring. Smart home technology, such as automated lighting and fall-detection systems, can further improve safety and ease of use for seniors living independently. While these changes are crucial for quality of life, they also come with unique considerations for maintenance, costs, and insurance coverage.
