Aging-in-Place Bathroom Checklist for South OC Homes
The most important aging-in-place bathroom upgrades are a low-threshold or curbless shower, grab bars anchored into blocking, a comfort-height toilet, a handheld shower with a bench, slip-resistant floors and good lighting. In Dana Point, a low-threshold shower conversion costs about $14,000–$30,000.
The checklist
- Low-threshold or curbless shower entry
- Grab bars at the shower, tub and toilet
- Shower bench and handheld on a slide bar
- Thermostatic, anti-scald valve
- Comfort-height toilet
- Slip-resistant matte tile
- Bright, even lighting and a night light
- Lever handles instead of knobs
Plan ahead during any remodel
Even if you don't need grab bars today, we add blocking inside the walls during remodels so bars can be installed later in minutes.
