What Does “Aging in Place” Really Mean?

Your Home. Your Independence. Our Expertise.

Aging doesn’t mean giving up the comfort of your home. With thoughtful updates and professional guidance, your space can be transformed to support mobility, safety, and long-term independence. At CHBS, we work with homeowners and families across Wichita to make aging-in-place not only possible—but practical and beautiful. Let us help you stay in the home you love, longer.

Aging in Place isn't just for seniors

Aging in place is all about choosing to remain in your home as you age, rather than relocating to assisted living or a care facility. It doesn’t mean giving up convenience or safety—it means adapting your space to better support your current and future needs.

These changes can be small, like installing grab bars in the bathroom, or more involved, like creating a barrier-free shower or widening doorways for mobility devices.


Why Accessibility Matters—Now and Later

Even if you’re managing well today, planning ahead can make a huge difference down the road. Falls are one of the leading causes of injury in older adults, and many homes simply aren’t designed with aging in mind. Features like steep stairs, slick flooring, or narrow hallways can become hazards over time.

By making thoughtful updates now, you reduce the risk of injury, avoid rushed decisions later, and maintain control over your living environment.


CHBS Accessibility Solutions

We take a personalized approach to every aging-in-place project, starting with a walk-through consultation and conversation about your needs. Some of the most common updates we provide include:

  • Grab bars and handrails in bathrooms, hallways, and stairwells
  • Barrier-free showers and walk-in tubs
  • Wider doorways to accommodate walkers or wheelchairs
  • Ramps and stair alternatives for easier entry and mobility
  • Non-slip flooring and improved lighting throughout the home
  • Accessible bathroom and kitchen layouts, with lowered counters or fixtures

Our skilled professionals are experienced in home renovation, not just repairs—so we ensure every change is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.


Not Just for Seniors

Accessibility modifications aren’t just for aging adults—they’re also helpful for people recovering from surgery, living with disabilities, or caring for a loved one with mobility challenges. We’ve helped families of all kinds create homes that work better for everyone who lives there.
