Another important addition for your home is grab bars. They can assist with balance and standing as well as provide assistance when sitting down. These are mostly found in bathrooms and kitchens but can also be placed around the house where needed if there is sufficient room. Though these can be installed by the homeowner, to insure they are secure and properly installed it is recommended that you get the help of a professional.

Lighting                                                                             One of the most important changes to make as vision declines is increasing lighting. In some places, it may be possible to simply add lamps, but due to limited space it may be necessary to install additional overhead lighting. 

Lowering Counters and Cabinets                                   If a wheelchair has become necessary, countertops may be difficult to reach and accessing cabinets and storage may be more problematic. If necessary, counters should be lowered to an appropriate height and the installation of under counter cabinets may be required.
