Safety Home Modifications & Precautions for Parkinson's Patients

Just diagnosed?

Many adaptations can be made to the home to make it easier for a person living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) to get around and maintain their daily activities. One of the best resources for assessing and making recommendations for home adaptations is an occupational therapist.  They are licensed healthcare professionals that are focused on enabling their patients to engage in daily activities as seamlessly as possible. One of the ways occupational therapists do this is through suggesting adaptations or modifications to the person’s environment.

Home adaptations for people with PD range from small changes to major building changes requiring construction. Adaptations to the home may include:

• Adding rails to doorways or stairs

• Creating half steps to make large steps smaller

• Installing ramps

• Widening doorways

• Removing or leveling threshold strips between rooms

• Adding stair lifts

• Replacing a bath with a walk-in shower

• Installing a tub transfer bench

• Adding shower chairs

• Mounting bars or handrails in tubs, showers or near the toilet

• Placing non-skid rubber bath mats in showers or tubs

• Installing a raised toilet seat or commode frame

• Switching out faucets to those that are easier to grasp or those that only require a touch to turn on

• Inserting chair or bed raisers

• Adding a handle or bed rail for getting out of bed

• Adding a motion-activated nightlight

Clips and wedges, clips and wedges, so many clips and wedges.

Wet rooms are particularly good for those whose motion is restricted, such as the senior or a person with disability. There is no demand for a shower tray, making access to the shower much easier.

Ready for the #AnnArborAccessibleMasterSuite project

Now I’m researching bathroom tiles and new wood floors for the condo at #AnnArborAccessibleMasterSuite project.

New Vertical Lift for the Spring!

This simple, one day installation made a world of difference for a Senior in West Bloomfield, MI. The original request was for a ramp- but with 24” of rise, that would mean their entire garage was taken up with a winding ramp. They felt confident that they were making the right decision in working with us to get their lift! 

Thank you #BFA,llc Team for all your work today on completing this project. ✨👏🏻
