As life expectancy increases and healthcare costs continue to rise, more people are choosing to age in place, remaining in their homes rather than relocating to assisted living facilities. This desire for independence and familiarity is understandable, but it often requires modifications to the home to ensure safety and comfort for older adults.
Wendel Klein Design Build can help you make the necessary changes to your home to accommodate the needs of aging family members. We can widen doorways, eliminate thresholds, and create accessible bathrooms and living spaces, all while preserving the integrity of your home.

A Real-Life Example
One of our first major projects involved a family who needed to make their home more accessible for a family member who had recently become wheelchair-bound. We worked closely with the family to identify the necessary modifications and implement them seamlessly, ensuring that the home remained a comfortable and welcoming place for everyone. This included remodeling a first floor bathroom to be wheelchair accessible, while remaining aesthetically pleasing, as well as upgrading a 3-season-porch to accommodate a ramp to be used as a wheel-chair accessible entrance.
