Lowered counters, roll-under sinks, wider aisles and lever hardware, planned around a household member with mobility needs or aging in place.
Accessible kitchen remodeling, aging-in-place kitchen design and universal design kitchens all describe planning counter heights, clearances and storage around who actually uses the kitchen, rather than a standard layout. For Lake Charles households supporting a family member with mobility needs, this is planned alongside, not instead of, the rest of a kitchen remodel.
An accessible kitchen is planned around who uses it, not a single standard layout.
A single counter height rarely works for both seated and standing use; sections at a lower height, or an adjustable-height section, accommodate both.
Wheelchair and walker access typically needs wider aisles than a standard kitchen layout, which may mean reworking the footprint, not just the cabinets.
Pull-out shelving and lowered storage put everyday items within easier reach than deep upper cabinets.
We discuss who the kitchen is for and what tasks need to be easier.
Counter heights, clearances and storage are planned together.
Pulled for any layout or structural changes.
Cabinetry, plumbing and electrical are installed to the new layout.
We walk the finished kitchen with you before calling the job done.
Widening aisles or reworking the footprint costs more than an accessible update within the existing layout.
Multiple counter heights add cabinetry cost over a single standard height.
Front-control ranges and accessible-style appliances can cost more than standard models.
Reworking sink plumbing for knee clearance adds labor beyond a standard sink installation.
