Most of today's homes were not designed or built to accommodate aging adults or anyone with limited mobility, balance and strength. In particular, bathrooms, for example, are common places for slips and falls to happen. In order to keep older adults out of harm's way and help them stay in their current homes as long as they possibly can, it’s vital to make smart bathroom updates for aging adults.
At HP Mechanical we are bathroom experts and updating bathrooms in order to accommodate seniors is something we encounter with our customers all over Sonoma County with an emphasis on Santa Rosa and Windsor, CA all the time.
Common bathroom features, such as lack of support in the shower, are potential dangers. Did you know that falls are the leading cause of injurious deaths among older adults? Without grab bars and other slip-resistant features, the risk of suffering a life-threatening fall rises significantly. You can prevent these dangers by remodeling your bathroom with specialized features and plumbing fixtures. And don’t worry—you won’t have to compromise on style. Visit our local showroom partners to select from a wide range of stylish brands and fixtures.
An all-ages bathroom is one that is built or retrofitted with Universal Design features in mind. Here are several upgrades that will help you make bathroom updates for aging adults:
Provide a safe environment for your seniors in your life by updating their bathroom and eliminating the dangers that might currently exist there.

Rudy was prompt, professional, informative and provided excellent, efficient service. I have already recommended him to friends. I will have them back in the next several weeks to finish with my kitchen remodel.
