Senior-friendly spaces: planning for everyday life

Senior-friendly spaces: planning for everyday life

Good senior-friendly spaces supports daily access tailored to the person using the room. Start with how the room is used now and how those needs may change.

Discuss reach, seating, visibility and movement with the resident. Do not infer accessibility requirements from age alone; arrange an individual assessment where needed.

Bring a list of must-haves, a rough budget and any existing items you plan to retain. Review the room as a whole before selecting individual products. In the estimator, assign optional elements to the relevant room and check that they do not duplicate a theme package.

Try handles and drawers before ordering. Record agreed clearances and assistance needs instead of relying on a generic accessibility label.
