As we age, the comfort of home becomes even more important. But safety concerns can make everyday spaces—like the bathroom—hazardous. That’s why Ridgeback Builders offers senior-friendly bathroom remodeling solutions across Florida that balance form, function, and dignity.
✅ 1. Walk-In Showers with Zero Threshold
High tub walls and raised shower curbs are common culprits for slips and falls. A barrier-free, walk-in shower makes entering and exiting safe and effortless.
- Zero-threshold (curbless) entry
- Slip-resistant tiles
- Fold-down shower bench
- Handheld showerhead for flexible control
✅ 2. Grab Bars That Are Stylish & Secure
Today’s grab bars don’t look medical—they’re sleek, strong, and smart. Properly placed, they provide critical support.
- Beside toilets
- Inside showers or tubs
- Near entrances or vanities
- Dual-purpose bars (towel + support)
✅ 3. Safe Flooring That Looks Good Too
Slippery floors are a huge fall risk. We help you choose elegant, senior-safe materials.
- Textured ceramic or porcelain tiles
- Slip-rated vinyl or laminate
- Matte-finish natural stone
✅ 4. Comfort-Height Toilets & Accessible Vanities
A few inches make a big difference. We recommend 17–19 inch comfort-height toilets and vanities with seated access.
- Lever or touchless faucets
- Wall-mounted vanities for wheelchair clearance
- Open storage for easy access
✅ 5. Bright, Adaptive Lighting
Vision changes with age. Well-planned lighting reduces risks and improves usability.
- Motion sensor or night lighting
- Side-lit mirrors to eliminate shadows
- Soft LED task lighting above vanities
✅ 6. Widen Doorways & Clear Floorplans
Mobility devices like walkers and wheelchairs need space. We design for freedom of movement.
- 36-inch wide doorways
- Minimum 60-inch turning radius
- Barrier-free walkways and clear space
