We had a great experience with all the S&W professionals during the remodeling of our bathroom. Adrianna, Kevin and their time and expertise were appreciated throughout the process. We love our new bathroom and look forward to remodeling our kitchen too.

Aging in place means remaining in one’s home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level. It means the pleasure of living in a familiar environment throughout one’s maturing years and the ability to enjoy the familiar daily rituals and the special events that enrich all our lives.
It means the reassurance of being able to call a house a “home” for a lifetime.
The concept of aging in place encompasses various elements such as home modifications (e.g., installing grab bars, ramps, and handrails), adaptive technologies (e.g., smart home devices, medical alert systems), and support services (e.g., home healthcare, transportation assistance) that enable seniors to maintain their autonomy and quality of life while remaining in familiar surroundings.
Aging in place emphasizes proactive planning and design strategies to ensure that individuals can continue to live safely and comfortably in their homes for as long as possible. We offer complete aging in place remodeling services throughout Orlando, Tampa, and Central Florida.
Accessible Bathrooms
From curbless showers and walk-in tubs to strategically placed grab bars and comfort-height toilets, we create spa-like bathrooms that reduce slip risks and make daily routines effortless.

Your Aging in Place Remodel Questions, Answered
Costs vary depending on the scope of work (e.g., a full kitchen remodel vs. a bathroom safety update). However, investing in aging-in-place modifications is often significantly more cost-effective than the long-term costs of assisted living facilities. During our Custom Design, Materials and Budget Review, we will work with you to create a plan that maximizes safety while respecting your investment.
This is a personal decision that balances emotional connection with practical feasibility. If you love your neighborhood and community, staying put is usually preferred. Our initial CAPS Consultation can help you decide. We assess your home’s structure to see if cost-effective modifications are possible. If your home can be adapted to be safe and comfortable for the long term, aging in place is often the more affordable and emotionally rewarding choice.
The top priority is always safety, specifically fall prevention. We typically start with the bathroom (the highest risk area), focusing on curbless showers and non-slip flooring. The next priorities are lighting (increasing visibility in hallways and work areas) and clearance (widening doorways and removing tripping hazards like thresholds/rugs).
Yes. If single-story living isn’t an option, we can integrate solutions to help you navigate between floors safely. This might include widening staircases for double handrails, redesigning the layout to accommodate a future stairlift, or even incorporating a residential elevator into the design. Alternatively, we can look at remodeling your ground floor to create a primary suite, allowing for complete main-level living.
