What to prioritize first
If you can only do one thing, replace worn or slippery flooring with slip-resistant, low-threshold flooring throughout the main living areas. Uneven transitions and worn carpet edges are the #1 fall risk in the home for anyone over 65.
- Low-threshold or curbless waterproof LVP flooring
- Slip-resistant flooring and subfloor texture
- Properly anchored grab bars (not suction cups)
- Wider doorway clearance
- Hand-held flooring transition strip on a slide bar
- Built-in transition strip or transition strip
- Wider transition thresholds instead of raised strips
