What is an aging in place bathroom?

A bathroom you can keep using. The shower has no step. Wood goes behind the tile so a grab bar can go in now or later. The toilet and the door are comfortable to use. It still looks like the rest of the house.

Do I have to remodel the whole bathroom?

The shower is the part that changes the floor. If the vanity, the toilet, and the door are already fine, we leave them. If they are in the way, they are part of the same job.

Can a parent use the bathroom I already have?

We look at the step, the doorway, and the floor. In Reunion a garden tub became a roll-in, and a wheelchair uses it. Lake Butler is a curbless bath you walk into, open to the lake.

Can the bathroom still look like the rest of the house?

Yes. Stone, glass, and hardware that matches the room. The bar can match the other metal. The safety is in the floor and in the wood behind the tile.

Aging in place

Bathrooms designed for easier everyday living.

A bathroom renovation can make daily routines safer and more comfortable without making the room feel institutional. We design showers with easier entry, thoughtful layouts, and finishes that fit your home.

Lake Butler bath, a curbless room open to the lake

Easier entry into the shower.

For some homeowners, removing the shower curb is the most important change. We look at the floor, the drainage, the waterproofing, and the space before recommending a curbless or wheelchair-accessible design. A true roll-in shower also needs clear space for the person using it and, when needed, a caregiver.

Lake Butler is a curbless wet room, open to the lake. Reunion is a roll-in a wheelchair uses. Orlando is one floor with a linear drain, and the vanity stays dry.

How a curbless shower is built

Reunion bathroom rebuilt as a roll-in shower

The rest of the room.

We can discuss grab-bar reinforcement, seating, handheld shower controls, accessible sinks, door clearances, and fixture placement. The right combination depends on how you use the room.

The vanity stays a vanity. If a chair has to pull under it, the sink is open underneath. If it does not, we leave the cabinet you already like.

Three finished bathrooms.

Lake Butler, Windermere — curbless, open to the lake, shades on the glass.
Reunion roll-in — a garden tub came out. A wheelchair uses the shower now.
Orlando wet room — one floor, a linear drain, the vanity kept dry.
