Accessible Living Atlanta: Creating Safer, More Accessible Homes
Making a home safer, more accessible, and easier to navigate can make an enormous difference for people who want to remain independent at home. In this Senior Safety Advice interview, Accessible Living Atlanta’s Dennis Lippy and Rick Thaxton join Esther C. Kane and Robin L. Schiltz to discuss home accessibility, aging in place, and thoughtful home modifications that can support people of all ages, abilities, and mobility needs.
The conversation explores practical home modifications for safer and more independent living, including grab bars, improved lighting, zero-threshold showers, safer entryways, ramps, ceiling lifts, wider access points, and other customized solutions.
