Aging at Home, in Style and Safety
For decades, most people assumed they'd eventually downsize or move into a retirement community. But times have changed.
"Today's seniors are choosing to stay in the homes they love. But they're not doing it the old way. They're remodeling — and they're doing it smart."
— Joseph, Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist
The most popular place to start? The kitchen.
Kitchens Built for Comfort and Independence
Traditional kitchens often weren't built with aging in mind: high cabinets, slippery tiles, poor lighting, and layouts that make meal prep a challenge.

Bath and Shower Remodels: Where Safety Matters Most
Beyond kitchens, bathroom upgrades are in high demand — especially walk-in showers with seating, grab bars, and zero thresholds.

Safety Features in Our Senior Bathroom Remodels:
- Zero-threshold shower entries to prevent trips and falls
- Strategically placed grab bars that blend with the design
- Built-in shower seating for comfort and stability
- Non-slip flooring to prevent dangerous falls
According to the CDC, falls in the bathroom are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults. But a simple remodel can drastically reduce that risk.
"We install walk-in tubs, ADA-height toilets, and elegant fixtures that blend form with function. It's all about maintaining independence with dignity."
— Joseph, Pearl Remodeling
Outdoor Bliss: The Rise of the "Backyard Heaven"
Another trend? Backyard makeovers. As seniors spend more time at home, many are turning underused yards into peaceful, low-maintenance retreats.
